🇦🇺 Australian Data Residency

Your data never leaves Australia

Every database, every photo, every AI request — processed and stored in Australia. Enforced at the infrastructure level, not just by policy.

Tenant Isolation

Each business gets its own isolated data store. No shared databases, no cross-business leaks — ever.

Australian Data Only

All data stored and processed in Australia. Infrastructure-level restrictions prevent overseas deployment.

AI Stays Local

AI processing runs on Australian infrastructure. Your data is never sent to overseas AI endpoints.

Encrypted Credentials

Staff PINs are encrypted before storage. Never stored in plaintext, never logged.

Role-Based Access

Admin, Manager, and Staff roles enforced at every layer — identity, API, and interface.

Audit Trail

Every time adjustment, AI action, and admin change is logged with who, what, and when.
