Data Protection Policy
Read about PlanMan’s hosting, encryption, backups and data exports.


Note: PlanMan is owned and run by BPS Designs Limited.
Security
PlanMan is hosted on the Microsoft Azure platform in the North Europe data centre.
Our servers use SSL certificates to encrypt data transferred between you and PlanMan.
Data Protection
At any one time, Windows Azure SQL Database keeps three replicas of data running (in the same data centre), one primary replica and two secondary replicas. If the hardware fails on the primary replica, the Windows Azure SQL Database detects the failure and fails over to the secondary replica.
In case of a physical loss of the replica, Windows Azure SQL Database creates a new replica automatically. Therefore, there are at least two physical transactionally consistent copies of your data in the data centre.
The databases, associated backups and transaction log files are also encrypted using Azure SQL Database transparent data encryption.
GDPR Compliance
All data is stored in the EU in the Microsoft data centre in Dublin, Ireland. Please see our Privacy Policy for information on how we protect your privacy.
What happens to my data if I lose my computer?

Clients can log in to PlanMan to view the records and documents you share with them.
We back up your data. You can also download your records using the available CSV or Excel export reports.
