Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 7th, 2025

Privacy policy for applications developed by LeftBrain.Software

📋 Privacy Summary

• I develop custom applications with minimal data collection

• Data collection is limited to essential business functions only

• No personal information is collected from visitors or unauthorized users

• I do not sell, share, or monetize any collected data

• All data belongs to the client organization, not to me as the developer

1. About This Policy

I am LeftBrain.Software, an independent software developer who creates custom applications for businesses and organizations. This privacy policy explains how data is handled in applications I develop and maintain.

Core Principle: I believe in minimal data collection. My applications only collect information that is absolutely necessary for their intended business function.

2. What Data My Applications Collect

The applications I develop typically collect only the following types of information:

Business Operations Data

  • • Employee time tracking and work activities
  • • Project and task management information
  • • Work schedules and assignments
  • • Business-related communications and notes
  • • Operational records specific to the business function

What I DON'T Collect

  • • No visitor tracking or analytics
  • • No cookies or tracking technologies
  • • No personal information from website visitors
  • • No marketing or advertising data
  • • No social media integration or sharing

3. Data Ownership and Access

I want to be clear about data ownership and my role as a developer:

  • Client Ownership: All data collected belongs to the client organization, not to me
  • Developer Access: I only access data when necessary for development, maintenance, or troubleshooting
  • No Data Mining: I do not analyze, aggregate, or use client data for any purpose beyond the specific application
  • Client Control: Clients have full control over their data and can request export or deletion at any time
  • Temporary Access: Any access I have is temporary and limited to the scope of the development work

4. How Data is Used

Data in my applications is used solely for the intended business purposes:

  • Application Function: To power the specific features the application was designed for
  • Business Operations: To support the client's day-to-day business activities
  • System Maintenance: To ensure the application runs properly and securely
  • Technical Support: To troubleshoot issues when they arise

What I DON'T do with data: I do not sell, share, analyze for personal gain, or use client data for any purpose outside of the specific application I was hired to create.

5. Data Security

I implement appropriate security measures in the applications I develop:

  • • Secure authentication and access controls
  • • Data encryption where appropriate
  • • Regular security updates and patches
  • • Secure coding practices and input validation
  • • Limited access principles (users only see what they need)

Security Note: While I implement industry-standard security practices, the ultimate responsibility for data security lies with the client organization hosting and operating the application.

6. Data Sharing and Third Parties

My approach to data sharing is straightforward:

✅ What I Do

  • • Keep all client data confidential
  • • Only access data when necessary for work
  • • Treat each client's data separately
  • • Follow any additional confidentiality agreements

❌ What I Don't Do

  • • Share data between different clients
  • • Sell or monetize any client data
  • • Use client data for marketing purposes
  • • Provide data to third parties without permission

7. My Role as Developer

As an independent developer, my relationship with data is limited and professional:

  • Service Provider: I provide software development and maintenance services
  • Data Processor: I process data only as directed by the client organization
  • Temporary Access: Any data access is temporary and work-related
  • Confidentiality: I maintain strict confidentiality of all client information
  • No Ownership Claims: I make no ownership claims over client data or business information

8. Website and Application Usage

Regarding the applications and websites I create:

  • No Tracking: I do not implement visitor tracking, analytics, or monitoring
  • No Cookies: Applications typically do not use cookies unless essential for function
  • Local Storage: Data is stored locally within the client's chosen hosting environment
  • Minimal Footprint: Applications are designed to collect only necessary information
  • User Control: Authorized users control what information is entered and stored

9. Client Rights and Control

Client organizations have full control over their data:

Data Access

Full access to all data within their application at any time

Data Export

Request data export in common formats (CSV, JSON, etc.)

Data Deletion

Request deletion of data when no longer needed

Access Termination

End my access to their data at any time

10. Changes to This Policy

I may update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in my development practices or legal requirements. When I make changes:

  • • I will update the "Last Updated" date
  • • I will notify active clients of any significant changes
  • • The updated policy will apply to future development work
