The security model

Treated the way a cybersecurity company would

Notova treats your financial records as encrypted, isolated, and under your sole control.

๐Ÿ”’
AES-256
Database encryption at rest
Local-only storage No cloud sync No telemetry Offline capable Audit trail
Your data, your responsibility

Total privacy comes with total ownership

Since nothing is stored in the cloud, safekeeping your data is on you.

โš ๏ธ Please read carefully

You're solely responsible for backing up your bookkeeping data. Keep regular, encrypted backups somewhere safe.

Red7en, LLC is not responsible for data loss โ€” from hardware failure, accidental deletion, or a lost device.

There's no backdoor and no recovery service. If your password is lost, the data cannot be recovered by anyone, including us.
