Security & permissions

Your data stays yours

  • OAuth-based connections you can revoke anytime from Polar or Startup Suite.

  • Encrypted in transit and at rest; we never sell your financial data.
  • Sync failures alert your team before numbers drift, no silent breakage.
Polar questions

Connecting Polar, answered

The things founders ask before they wire up a tool.

Will my MRR match what my payment processor shows?+

Yes, that's the point. Charges, refunds, and disputes all flow in, so the MRR in your model reconciles to the MRR in your processor.

Does it handle subscriptions and one-off charges?+

Both. Recurring revenue, upgrades, and churn map to cohort drivers, while one-off charges land in cash on the dates they actually settle.

Is my payment data secure?+

Connections use revocable OAuth, sync only the fields you choose, and your financial data is encrypted in transit and at rest, never sold.
