Privacy policy

What we collect

Your account: your name, email address, your organization's name and country, and your preferred language. Your password is stored only in a scrambled form that nobody can read back.

Your accounting data: customers, suppliers, products, invoices, bills, payments, journal entries, bank lines, employees and payroll if you use them, and the documents you upload, such as bills and receipts.

Activity: a log of who changed what and when, which accountants rely on. Technical logs record errors and requests, without the contents of your documents.

Why we use it

Only to run Jarda for you: to keep your books, produce your reports, send the emails you ask for (such as an invoice to your customer or a password reset link), protect your account and fix problems. We don't sell your data, show ads, or use your data to train AI models.

Where it is kept

Your data is stored in a database on secure cloud servers located in the European Union that we rent and run, and an encrypted backup is made every night. When the off-site copy is turned on, that encrypted backup is also kept in Cloudflare R2 storage in the European Union.

Who else handles it

Only the services needed to run Jarda: the company that hosts our server, Cloudflare (our domain, the secure connection and the off-site backup copy), the email service that sends the emails you ask for, and, only if your organization turns AI on, the AI provider of its own account. Each one receives only what its task needs.

How long we keep it

For as long as your organization uses Jarda. After you ask us to close it, we delete it within 30 days, and the nightly backups that still contain it expire within a further 30 days. Before closing, export the accounting records the law requires you to keep.

Your rights

You can see and correct your data in the app and export your lists and reports at any time. To get a full copy, correct something you cannot change yourself, object to a use, or delete your account or organization, contact us and we will answer within 30 days.

Egypt's Personal Data Protection Law (Law No. 151 of 2020) gives you these rights, and the law of your own country may give you more.

Keeping data safe

Passwords are stored scrambled, connections are encrypted (HTTPS), each organization's data is kept apart from the others, keys you save are encrypted, and backups are encrypted before they leave the server. If your data is put at risk, we will tell you as the law requires.

Cookies

We use only the cookies needed to keep you signed in and to remember your language. There are no advertising or third-party tracking cookies.

Changes to this policy

When this policy changes we update the date at the top of this page, and for a significant change we tell your organization's admins first.
