GDPR

We process personal data in line with the GDPR (DSGVO). See our Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement for the controller/processor model, legal bases, and data subject rights.

GoBD support

Accounting preparation is designed to support the German Principles for Proper Bookkeeping (GoBD) and the proper retention of digital records. Exports are structured and traceable; originals are never overwritten — corrections create new versions with audit links.

German accounting preparation

LeadersMind prepares — it does not finally book. VAT and DATEV exports are validated but require approval by an authorized accounting role and professional review before external submission.

Audit support

Append-only audit logs, version-controlled documents, and separation of duties support audit traceability. Export of audit data is available to authorized auditors only.

Data retention

Retention follows legal requirements (e.g., § 147 AO, § 257 HGB — up to 10 years). Retention-protected documents cannot be deleted by normal processes.

AI governance

AI outputs are recommendations, not automated decisions. Human oversight is enforced for high-risk actions. See Responsible AI.

Logging

Security-sensitive events are logged in an append-only audit trail. Internal security details are not exposed to ordinary users.

Role permissions

Granular, role-based permissions control access to documents, financial data, conversations, company memory, and tasks. External advisers receive organization-specific grants only.

Future certifications

We are pursuing SOC 2 and ISO/IEC 27001 certifications. [Status: in progress.]
