Security at JamiiNest

1. Authentication & Access Control

• Accounts are protected using Firebase Authentication.
• Role-based permissions help ensure users only see and do what their role allows.
• Group data is isolated: each group has its own records, separate from other groups.

2. Data Storage & Integrity

• Records are stored in Firestore, a cloud-hosted NoSQL database.
• Key financial logic runs on the server via Cloud Functions to prevent tampering.
• Important actions are logged so groups can review how decisions were made.

3. Communications & Devices

• Connections to the platform use HTTPS to protect data in transit.
• Users are encouraged to secure their own devices with PINs, biometrics, or passwords.

4. Backups and Reliability

JamiiNest relies on managed cloud infrastructure that includes built-in redundancy and backup capabilities. This reduces the risk of losing data compared to paper notebooks or single laptops.

5. Shared Responsibility

Security is a shared effort. JamiiNest provides secure defaults and guardrails, while group admins are responsible for managing membership, roles, and local practices (such as meeting procedures and cash handling).
