Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Privacy

At Billable, we believe your data belongs to you. This privacy policy explains how we handle information related to our desktop accounting software.

1. Data Collection

We do not collect any personal data. Billable is a desktop application that stores all your information locally on your device. We do not have servers that collect, store, or process your data.

2. Local Data Storage

All your business data, including:

• Company information and financial years
• Chart of accounts and account groups
• Financial transactions (sales, purchases, payments, receipts, journals)
• Inventory items, stock levels, and multi-location tracking
• Trial balances, balance sheets, and all reports

is stored exclusively on your local device. You have complete control over this data.

3. Website Analytics

Our website may use basic analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This may include information such as browser type, referring site, and pages visited. This information is not linked to the desktop application and does not include any of your accounting data.

4. No Third-Party Sharing

Since we don't collect your data, we have nothing to share with third parties. Your accounting information never leaves your device unless you explicitly export or backup files yourself.

5. Updates and Communication

The application may check for software updates, but this process does not involve transmitting any of your personal or financial data. Update checks are performed using standard HTTP requests that only identify the application version.

6. Open Source

Billable is open-source software. You can review our source code on GitHub to verify our privacy claims. We encourage security researchers and developers to audit the code and report any concerns.

7. Data Security

While we don't handle your data directly, we recommend that you:

• Regularly backup your data to a secure location
• Use appropriate security measures on your device (passwords, encryption)
• Keep your operating system and Billable updated to the latest version

8. Children's Privacy

Our software is designed for business use and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. For significant changes, we will provide notice through our release notes or GitHub repository.
