# Where does Nova's data come from?

Checked against Nova's code on 2026-10-29

Nova reads your data from Amazon's official APIs, with the access you grant when you connect: the Selling Partner API for Seller Central and Vendor Central, and the Amazon Ads API for advertising. Your costs, such as COGS, VAT and shipping, come from you. Nova adds daily exchange rates and nothing else from outside Amazon.

## What you add

Amazon does not know your costs. You add them in the app, by spreadsheet or through your AI assistant:

- Cost of goods, by product and region
- VAT categories
- FBM shipping, packing and picking costs
- Your own costs: tools, salaries, agencies
- Stock held outside Amazon, supplier orders and lead times
- Product tags and events

## What Nova does not read

Nova does not request Amazon's restricted buyer data: no buyer names, email addresses or street addresses. The orders report it reads carries the delivery city, postal code and country, and a business buyer's company name.

Nova changes nothing on Amazon unless an owner asks it to, through a listing edit they confirm.
