Paige (Your Assistant)
A Paige assist is one conversation with Paige, our AI assistant. Ask questions, get help drafting emails, analyze your budget, and more. Each conversation counts as one assist.
Paige can help draft communications, answer questions about your data, analyze budgets, suggest event improvements, and automate routine tasks across all modules.
Yes. Paige only accesses your organization's data and never shares it externally. All AI processing follows our strict privacy policy.
You can upgrade your plan for more assists, or wait until your monthly allowance resets. Core platform features continue working without Paige.
Trust & Security
Yes. Your data is encrypted with 256-bit AES encryption and stored on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure. Each organization's data is completely isolated - no one else can access it. Payment processing runs through Stripe's PCI-DSS Level 1 certified platform, the same security trusted by Amazon and Shopify. We never sell, share, or monetize your data.
Yes, you can export your organization's data at any time from Organization Settings. We support CSV and JSON formats for most data types.
Only members you invite can see your organization's data. Admins control permission levels for different member roles.
Your data is stored on Amazon Web Services (AWS) servers in the United States with automatic daily backups. All data is encrypted both in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (256-bit AES). Our database uses row-level security to ensure complete isolation between organizations.
You can export all your data anytime before canceling. After cancellation, your data is retained for 30 days in case you change your mind, then permanently deleted. We never hold your data hostage.
Yes. We follow GDPR best practices for all users, regardless of location. You can request a complete copy of your data or request deletion at any time from Organization Settings.
