How we protect the customer, stock and money records your business runs on: where we stand on the law, what keeps your data safe, and who else touches it.
Last updated October 6, 2026
Getting into your account
A stolen password on its own should not be enough to get into your business.
- Turn on two-step sign-in and we ask for a code from your phone every time
- Backup codes, so losing the phone does not lock you out for good
- Passwords are stored scrambled, so nobody here can read yours, including us
Your business is separate from everyone else's
Other businesses on the platform cannot see your records, and your staff see only what you have given them.
- Every request is tied to your business before it can read or write anything
- Staff accounts can only reach their employer's records, never anyone else's
- If you use both the home and business sides, the two stay separate from each other
Scrambled while it is stored and while it travels, so it is unreadable to anyone who gets hold of it.
- Encrypted on its way between your browser and us
- Encrypted where it is stored
- The most sensitive information gets a second layer on top
- Backups are encrypted too
We never see or keep card numbers, yours or your customers'.
- Cards go straight to our payment processor and are swapped for a token
- A break-in here could not expose card numbers, because they are not here
- Payments and refunds are recorded once, so a hiccup cannot double-charge anyone
When something changes, you can find out who changed it and when, without calling support.
- Money, permission and admin changes are each recorded separately
- Anyone looking at personal records leaves a trace
- Refunds and account changes show up for the owner to review
Someone trying to guess their way in, or hammering the system, gets stopped before it reaches your data.
- Repeated sign-in attempts are slowed and then blocked
- Private files people upload are checked for viruses, and an infected one is deleted
- Unusual behavior raises an alert a person reviews
Your browser is told to refuse anything we did not put there, so a bad advert or injected script has nothing to stand on.
- Connections are forced onto the secure version of the site
- The camera, microphone and location are switched off unless something genuinely needs them
What our own staff can see
The question people ask least and wonder about most. Nobody here can take over your account.
- Our staff cannot sign in as you
- Support helps you from their own account, never from inside yours
- When someone here looks at personal records, it leaves a trace
Your data
- Where it is kept
- On managed servers in the United States, encrypted, reachable only over a secure connection. Files you upload are stored the same way.
- Backups
- Encrypted, and erased data leaves them within 180 days. Private files also have a locked copy that nobody, us included, can change or delete early.
- Closing your account
- You get 30 days to change your mind: sign back in and choose to keep your account. After that your files, any custom web address and your support conversations are erased, apart from records the law requires us to keep.
- Taking your data with you
- Download everything at any time from your settings. You do not need to ask us.
Erased data is gone from our backups within 180 days, and we check that every night.
Questions, or something to report

Reviewing us for your company and need more detail than this page gives? Ask at the same address and we will answer properly. We keep the specifics off a public page on purpose.
