3. Data Storage and Security

3.1 Local Storage

Your payroll data is stored locally on your device in an SQLite database. This data remains on your device and is protected by your device's operating system security features (encryption at rest, passcode/biometric lock).

3.2 Cloud Storage

If you create an account (sign in with email/password, Google, or Apple), your data is also synced to Google Firebase Cloud Firestore, a cloud database hosted by Google in the United States. This enables multi-device access and data backup. Cloud-synced data includes: employee records, withholdings, pay stubs, time card shifts, extra payments, notes, and app settings.

Data that is NOT synced to the cloud: scheduled shifts, active employee selection, and reminder settings.

3.3 Security Measures

We implement physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your information. These include:

• Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS) between the Application and cloud services
• Firebase Authentication with secure token management
• Firestore security rules that restrict data access to authenticated account owners
• Limited access to data by authorized employees and contractors on a need-to-know basis

Please be aware that no security system can prevent all potential security breaches. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device and account credentials.
