4. QuickBooks Data Access
Our software integrates with Intuit QuickBooks Online via the official QuickBooks API using OAuth 2.0 authorization. When you connect your QuickBooks account:
- You explicitly authorize the specific data scopes required for the service.

- Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or government authority.
- Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with appropriate notice to affected parties.
6. Data Security
We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including:
- Encrypted data transmission (TLS/HTTPS) for all network communications.
- Access controls limiting data access to authorized personnel only.
- Secure credential storage using environment variables and secrets management — never hardcoded.
- Regular security reviews of integrations and access tokens.
No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. If you become aware of any security concern, please contact us immediately.

We retain your data for as long as necessary to provide services or as required by law. Upon termination of a service engagement, we will delete or return your data upon written request within a reasonable timeframe, except where retention is required by applicable law.
