Certain features may use automated statistical models, forecasting technologies or artificial-intelligence services to interpret business data and generate summaries, recommendations or operational insights.

AI-generated summaries and forecasts are decision-support tools. They are not guarantees of future performance and should be evaluated together with the business owner's knowledge, professional judgment and current market conditions.

Depending on the payment workflow used by a business, transaction information may be received from supported payment integrations or entered by authorized business users.

Transaction data processed by OptiGain may include payment amounts, transaction references, timestamps, transaction status and information necessary to associate a payment with a business sale or account.

Depending on the nature of the information and service, OptiGain may process personal data where processing is necessary to provide contracted services, comply with legal obligations, protect legitimate business and security interests, or where appropriate consent has been provided.

Where cross-border processing occurs, OptiGain seeks to use appropriate contractual, technical and organizational safeguards and to handle such transfers in accordance with applicable data-protection requirements.
