Security & your data

Your business stays on your machine.

Local-first by design. Here is exactly what that means — and what it doesn't.

Where your boards live

Your boards are stored on your device — on desktop, in a local, crash-safe database, not in someone else's cloud. Cloud sync is optional: on the desktop app it's off by default and you turn it on, it's a paid feature (the free plan doesn't sync at all), and a local-only user is never pushed to the cloud. The web companion keeps your boards cloud-backed so you can reach them in a browser. Nothing is uploaded just because you opened the app.

How sources connect

You connect a source with OAuth or an API key. Most sources are read-only feeds: Vexlynk reads your numbers and shows them as a live card, and doesn't change your records inside Stripe, YouTube, Google Analytics, Notion and the rest. A few you can act on right from the board today — reply on WhatsApp, edit a Trello card, add or edit a Google Calendar event — and those are always your action, with a confirm step, not the assistant acting on its own. You can revoke any source's access at any time. On the desktop app the tokens stay in the app's main process; on the web the source polling runs server-side.

What the AI actually sees

We're not going to tell you "your data never leaves your machine" — that stops being true the moment you ask a hosted AI a question. Here's the honest split instead:

Stays on your machine

  • Your boards and any local files
  • Your source credentials / keys
  • Everything on sources you haven't asked about

Sent to the model when you ask

  • The relevant board context needed to answer your question
  • With your own key (BYOK), that request goes to your provider, on your account
  • You choose when to ask — nothing is sent in the background

What Vexlynk does and doesn't do — today

  • Reads your connected sources — most are read-only feeds it never edits.
  • Lets you act on a few sources from the board today: reply on WhatsApp, edit a Trello card, add or edit a Google Calendar event — your action, confirmed first, not the assistant on its own.
  • Creates real things on demand when you ask: cards, documents, downloadable files (including HTML) and images.
  • Doesn't post to your social accounts — those sources are read-only.

The controls are yours

  • Disconnect any source in one click
  • Turn cloud sync on or off
  • Bring your own AI key (BYOK)
  • Delete a board — or your whole account

The free plan puts your first live card on a board in a few minutes — connect one read-only source and decide for yourself.
