- Comply with legal obligations
We do not use your data for advertising purposes or sell it to third parties.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We share data only with:
- Stripe — for payment processing and subscription management
- Google (OAuth) — if you choose to sign in with Google; we receive only your email address and profile name

5. Data Retention
We retain your account and business data for as long as your account is active. If you close your account, we retain your data for up to 30 days to allow for recovery, after which it is permanently deleted from our systems — unless we are legally required to retain it longer (e.g., financial records).
6. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including:
- TLS/HTTPS encryption in transit for all Service communications
- Encrypted database connections and at-rest encryption for sensitive fields
- Hashed passwords (not reversible)
- HttpOnly, Secure session cookies to prevent XSS token theft
- JWT tokens with short expiry and secure refresh token rotation
- Optional TOTP-based two-factor authentication (2FA)
No system is completely secure. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal data, we will notify you by email within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, in accordance with applicable law.
7. Cookies
We use a single session cookie (ros_session) to maintain your login state. This cookie is:
- HttpOnly — inaccessible to JavaScript
- Secure — only transmitted over HTTPS
- SameSite=Strict — prevents CSRF attacks
We do not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies, or third-party tracking cookies.

- Access — request a copy of your personal data
