- Access controls and authentication
- Secure data centers with SOC2 compliance
Data Retention
We retain your data as follows:
- Timekeeping records: Minimum 2 years per federal law (FLSA, 29 CFR 516.6). May be retained longer based on your organization's settings or applicable state law.
- Payroll records: Minimum 3 years per federal law (FLSA, 29 CFR 516.5). Includes gross pay estimates and adjustment records.

Where federal, state, or local law requires longer retention, we comply with the longer period.
Communications and Monitoring
Messages, announcements, and other communications sent through the platform are retained as part of your organization's communication records. Organization administrators may have visibility into communications within their organization.
We do not monitor private communications in real time. Access to communication records is limited to authorized administrators within your organization and our support team when investigating reported issues.

- Tax withholding forms (W-4, I-9, etc.)
Our payroll features generate gross-pay estimates only — based on hours and rates entered by your organization. We do not calculate taxes, deductions, or net pay. For official payroll processing, your organization should use a licensed payroll provider.
Data Sharing and Third Parties
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share data only with:
- Infrastructure providers (database hosting, file storage, email delivery) under data processing agreements
