Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 2024

The short version: IronBase is a desktop application. Your data stays on your computer. We don't have access to your invoices, clients, or business information.

1. What Data We Collect

Data Stored Locally (On Your Computer)

IronBase stores all your business data locally on your device in a SQLite database. This includes:

  • Your business information and settings
  • Client and customer records
  • Invoices and payment history
  • Time tracking entries
  • Products and services catalog

We never transmit this data to our servers. It remains entirely under your control.

Data We May Collect

When you interact with our website or purchase IronBase, we may collect:

  • Contact information: Email address when you contact us or purchase the product
  • Payment information: Processed securely through our payment provider (we never store your full card details)
  • Support communications: Messages you send us via email or our support form
  • Basic analytics: Anonymous usage data on our website (pages visited, referral source)

2. How We Use Your Data

The limited data we collect is used to:

  • Process your purchase and deliver the software
  • Send you important product updates and security notifications
  • Respond to your support requests
  • Improve our website and marketing

We will never sell your personal information to third parties. Ever.

3. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

  • Payment processing: To securely handle purchases
  • Email service: To send transactional emails and updates
  • Analytics: To understand website traffic (anonymized)

Each of these services has their own privacy policy. We only share the minimum data necessary for them to function.

4. Data Security

Your business data in IronBase is stored locally using industry-standard SQLite encryption. We recommend maintaining regular backups of your data (the app makes this easy) and following good security practices on your computer.

For the limited data we do collect (email, payment info), we use encryption in transit (HTTPS) and secure storage practices.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access: Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you
  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your data from our systems
  • Export: Your IronBase data is always exportable from the application
  • Opt-out: Unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time

6. Cookies

Our website uses minimal cookies for essential functionality and anonymous analytics. We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes.

7. Children's Privacy

IronBase is not intended for use by children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes via email or through the application.
