Your financial models and proprietary data remain private—we don't train on customer files, don't retain uploads, and use ex-banker benchmarks instead of customer data to improve performance

Privacy and Data Security at Shortcut

Financial models contain your most sensitive business information: M&A targets, valuation assumptions, strategic plans, proprietary methodologies. Trusting an AI tool with this data requires absolute certainty about how it's handled.

Shortcut's approach is simple: your data stays yours. We don't train on it, don't store it longer than necessary, and never share it with third parties.

What We Don't Do

🚫 No Training

Your uploaded files, proprietary data, custom templates, and style guides are never used to train our AI models.

🚫 No Retention

File uploads automatically deleted after 30 days. Temporary processing data cleared immediately after each request.

🚫 No Sharing

Your models aren't sold to data aggregators, shared with marketing partners, or used to train third-party AI systems.

How We Improve Without Your Data

Ex-Banker Benchmark Team

We employ former analysts from Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, KKR, Blackstone, and other top firms who create realistic financial modeling tasks and manually build "gold standard" solutions to every level of detail.

Proprietary Agentic Verification

Specialized AI systems assess Shortcut's performance at scale: formula validators, formatting verifiers, completeness checkers, and accuracy auditors run on every output.
