## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Is my data secure?">
    Yes. The Mini App protects your data the same way the AI2Fin web app does — your connection is encrypted in transit, and your sign-in is verified before any of your financial data is shown. Your financial data lives in your AI2Fin account, not on Telegram's servers. You stay in control of your data and can delete it anytime.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need a separate account?">
    No. Link your existing AI2Fin account, or create a new one from the Mini App. Either way, you get one unified account across Telegram and the web app.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I use all AI2Fin features from Telegram?">
    The Mini App focuses on quick daily tasks — adding expenses, managing bills, and checking your dashboard. For advanced features like AI categorization, pattern analysis, tax reports, and CSV imports, use the [web app](https://app.ai2fin.com).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens if I unlink Telegram?">
    Your AI2Fin account and all your data remain intact. You can re-link anytime from the Mini App.
