Where data is stored
All workspace data, including people, requests, balances and documents, is stored in a managed PostgreSQL database in Frankfurt, Germany. Data travels only over encrypted connections.
Each company’s data is separated by access rules in the database itself, not only in the interface. Even an error in the interface cannot show one company’s data to another.
Who sees what
Inside a company, access is set by four roles. The owner can also open or close individual sections for a specific person.
| Owner | AdministratorAdmin | Manager | Employee | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Own requests and balance | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Team calendar (reasons hidden) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Requests and reasons of their team | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | — |
| Settings, rules and the whole company | ✓ | ✓ | — | — |
| Billing and ownership | ✓ | — | — | — |
Sign-in and accounts
- Two-step sign-in with an authenticator app. A company can make it optional, required for the owner and administrators, or required for everyone.
- People are told by email when their password or email address changes.
- One email address belongs to one person, and access ends when someone leaves the company.
Privacy in the product
On the team calendar colleagues see that someone is away. The type of absence, for example sick leave, is visible only to the person, their manager and the approver. This rule is part of the platform and cannot be switched off by mistake.
Every decision on a request is recorded: who made it, when and with what note.
Export and leaving
Balances, history and analytics export to Excel at any time. If a payment is delayed, the workspace keeps working fully for a week and then becomes read-only. HR data is never deleted because of a payment.
