Built in Nanaimo, BC.
Your data, handled openly. Only the accounts you approve get connected, and this page names every tool involved.
Documented, not a black box. What each tool does, what it collects, and how the day-to-day works — in plain language.
You stay in the loop. The words and calls it's approved to make are set by you before anything goes live.
Honest about the limits. If a free tool isn't worth it for you, I'll tell you. That's included.
