PRIVACY BY DESIGN

Your finances stay yours. Even from the AI.

The AI doesn’t need your bank names, account numbers, or identity to reason about the decision. So it doesn’t get them.

HOW PROTECTION WORKS

Six promises, built into the system.

01

You control the connection

Choose which accounts to connect and disconnect them whenever you want. You can also request deletion at any time.

02

Read-only by design

Plaid and SnapTrade handle account connections. Ask Linc never stores your bank credentials and cannot move your money.

03

Identity removed before AI

Account names and merchant details are tokenized before analysis, so the model gets useful context without your identifying details.

04

Minimum context, protected models

Only the context needed for the question is shared. Your financial data is not used to train AI models.

05

Encrypted in transit and at rest

Data is protected with modern transport encryption and strong encryption at rest where applicable.

06

No ads. No data brokerage.

Ask Linc does not sell your data, share it with advertisers, or build an advertising profile around your finances.

WHAT ANONYMIZATION LOOKS LIKE

Useful context in.
Identity left out.

Before analysis, sensitive labels are replaced with neutral tokens. The financial relationship remains; the identifying detail does not.
