We take privacy seriously and protecting your data in BeanBox is very important to us. This policy outlines how we treat Personal Information.
We collect your contact information when you sign-up to use BeanBox.
BeanBox retrieves and stores data from your accounting software to create the reports for you. The data it retrieves includes your organisation name, repeating invoices, account codes, country, users, timezone and other data needed to provide the figures in your reports.
We collect Personal Information from you when you set up an account, subscribe to a newsletter, visit our website, respond to a survey or marketing communication, open an email, click a trackable link in an email, fill out a form, login or enter information on our site. Once connected to your accounting system BeanBox will retrieve up-to-date data from your accounting system regularly.
We may use the information we collect from you in the following ways:
Protecting your data in BeanBox is very important to us. We use an SSL certificate to encrypt all information that is passed through the app (go.beanbox.app).
Our database is encrypted at rest, including all backups of the data, using the industry standard AES-256 encryption algorithm for encryption. We use a secure key management system for the encryption keys. The database is located in a private-subnet and therefore not publicly accessible.
On top of this, all financial amounts from invoice line items are stored using additional encryption in our database. The reports that BeanBox creates for your company will only be seen by you. We don’t see your reports, or even any invoice line amount. If you have a question about any totals in your reports you’ll need to send us a screenshot, or grant BeanBox temporary visibility to your account in the BeanBox interface.
If you are visiting the website from outside the United States, please be aware that you are sending information (including Personal Information) to the United States where our servers are located. Data at times is also transferred to New Zealand, where our developers and support team are based. That information may then be transferred within the United States or back out of the United States to other countries outside of your country of residence, depending on the type of information and how it is stored by us. These countries (including the United States) may not necessarily have data protection laws as comprehensive or protective as those in your country of residence; however, our collection, storage and use of your Personal Information will at all times continue to be governed by this Privacy Policy.
