5. Why Truthifi?

5.1. Security

Your Alex. Brown private-client portal username and password never touch Truthifi's servers. Authentication occurs through Alex. Brown's aggregator partner (Yodlee), creating a read-only, protocol-enforced connection secured with AES-256 encryption. Perplexity receives only scoped data tokens, never your Alex. Brown credentials. You maintain complete control and can revoke access anytime from your Alex. Brown portal or your Truthifi dashboard.

5.2. Privacy

Your financial data stays under your complete control when using Truthifi. We never store login credentials from Alex. Brown or any institution. You decide which specific accounts Perplexity can access. Data is not sold to third parties, and connecting Perplexity does not grant access to any other AI you have connected using Truthifi.

5.3. Audit Trail

Every MCP data request is logged. When Perplexity pulls Alex. Brown data into a research answer, the timestamp and the specific fields accessed are recorded in your Truthifi dashboard.
