Where your wages, overhead and prices are held depends on how you are running it. Both cases are set out below.
While you are using Chalkline on this website, the figures you enter are held on our server, in a folder belonging to your account, and backed up with it. They are not shown to anyone else, not sold, not shared, and not used for anything except showing them back to you.
The desktop version, which you can install once you subscribe, keeps your figures on your machine. They are not transmitted to us or to anybody else. The only thing it sends is a check, every few hours, asking whether your subscription is still running — that carries your licence key and nothing else. If it cannot reach us it carries on working.
Installing the desktop version brings everything down onto your computer using your code. Ask and your figures will be removed from the server afterwards.
That is the whole list.
Payments are handled by Stripe. Your card number is entered on Stripe's own page and is never seen, sent to, or stored by us.
One, to keep you signed in. Nothing for advertising and nothing that follows you to other websites.
Your information is not sold or shared. The only outside companies involved are the ones needed to run the thing: Stripe for payments, and the hosting company the website runs on.
Ask and your account, your figures and your messages are deleted. If you have the desktop version, that copy is on your computer and is yours to delete — there is a remove option inside it that saves a copy to your desktop first.
