How we handle your data
Most projects start with access to your accounting system or your database. This page says what we ask for, how we keep it, and what happens to it when the project ends.
What we ask for
Read-only access wherever the system allows it. A named account for us rather than a shared login, so you can see what we did and switch it off later. The smallest scope the work needs: a reporting user, not an administrator.
How we handle credentials
Every password and key goes into a password manager, never into email or chat. At handoff we return or revoke what we were given. Ask at any time and we revoke our access the same day.
Where your dashboards and systems run
Power BI dashboards run inside your Microsoft account. A web dashboard or a custom system runs on managed hosting covered by your Support or care plan, or on hosting you choose. Either way your data stays in your database.
What we keep
Working copies of your data exist only while the project runs. We delete them within 30 days of handoff unless you ask us to keep a backup. Nothing about your business appears on this website: case studies name an industry, never a client.
Who owns it
You do. The Power BI files, the database, the code and the documentation are yours, on accounts in your name. Any developer can pick them up later.
How we test
We never test on your live data. Changes go to a separate test copy first, and we restore a backup once before anything goes live.
