Security & Trust

How Inkvex protects SMB acquisition diligence data

Zero retention on uploaded deal documents, modern encryption in transit and at rest, Anthropic's Claude AI for document analysis, and PCI-DSS Level 1 payments through Stripe.

Data Handling

Your Deal Documents, Your Control

Every document you upload is processed in memory and discarded the moment your analysis finishes. Inkvex does not archive, index, or back up the original document. APAs, commercial leases, employment agreements, seller notes, FDDs, and anything else you put through the pipeline are handled the same way. If you are a logged-in user, we retain the structured analysis report on your account so you can revisit it, but the original document text is never stored.

Because the original text is discarded, follow-up chat on a document is session-scoped: it runs against the full document while you are on the analysis page, and against the stored summary afterward. Re-upload the document any time to resume a full-text conversation.

We do not use your deal documents to train AI models, fine-tune classifiers, or improve our product. Your documents are yours. Full stop.

AI Model

Underlying Model Provider

Inkvex routes document analysis through Anthropic's Claude AI.

Anthropic's commercial API terms prohibit using customer inputs or outputs to train models. Inkvex operates under those terms.

Encryption

Security

All traffic between your browser and Inkvex runs over TLS 1.3 with modern AEAD cipher suites. Our infrastructure is hosted on Vercel’s global edge network with automatic HTTPS, HTTP Strict Transport Security, and DDoS protection built in.

Structured analysis data at rest is stored in Supabase Postgres with disk-level AES-256 encryption and row-level access control. Only authenticated users can read their own reports.

Payments

Payment Security

All billing is handled by Stripe, a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment provider. Your card details never touch Inkvex servers. We receive a customer token from Stripe and a webhook confirmation when a charge succeeds. That is the full scope of payment data we see.

Stripe handles fraud detection, 3D Secure authentication, and chargeback processing on our behalf. Refunds are issued through the same channel and processed by Stripe directly.

Legal

Legal Disclaimer

Inkvex provides legal information, not legal advice. The analysis you receive is generated by AI and is intended to help you and your attorney focus on what matters, not to replace the judgment of a qualified M&A, franchise, or real-estate attorney.

For live LOI diligence, franchise agreements, and heavily negotiated leases, always consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction. Inkvex is a first pass that surfaces the issues worth escalating so your billable hour lands sharper — not a substitute for professional legal representation.
