Security & Trust

When you use Simple Self-Employed, you’re trusting us with sensitive financial information.

That’s a responsibility we take seriously.

This page explains how we approach security, privacy and trust.

If you’re looking for detailed legal information, please see our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Our Approach

Simple Self-Employed was built around a simple principle:

Your financial information should remain yours.

Our goal is to help you understand your finances, not profit from your data.

What Information Do We Store?

Depending on how you use the platform, information may include:

• Transaction records
• Salary information
• Dividend information
• Self-employed income
• Rental income
• Tax profile information
• Reports and exports
• Account information

You remain the owner of this information.

Do You Sell My Data?

No.

We do not sell personal information.

We do not sell financial information.

We do not sell transaction histories.

We do not sell behavioural profiles.

Our business model is subscription-based.

We make money from software subscriptions, not from user data.

Is My Information Encrypted?

Yes.

Connections to Simple Self-Employed use encrypted HTTPS connections.

This helps protect information as it travels between your device and our systems.

Where Is My Data Stored?

Your information is stored using reputable cloud infrastructure providers selected for reliability and security.

We work with established providers rather than managing physical servers ourselves.

This allows us to benefit from enterprise-grade security practices and infrastructure.

Who Can Access My Information?

Access to user information is restricted.

Authorised access may occur when:

• Investigating technical issues
• Providing customer support
• Resolving account problems
• Maintaining platform security

We do not routinely browse user financial information.

Access is limited to situations where it is reasonably necessary.

Do You Use My Data To Train AI Models?

No.

Your financial information is not used to train public AI models.

Your transaction data, salary information and tax profile remain private to your account.

If AI-powered features are introduced in the future, we will clearly explain how they work and what information they use.

What Happens If I Delete My Account?

If you delete your account:

Your access will end.

Active account data will be removed.

Backup copies may remain for a limited period before being automatically deleted.

This helps ensure platform reliability and disaster recovery.

Can I Export My Data?

Yes.

We believe users should always remain in control of their information.

You can export data and reports generated through the platform.

This includes Accountant Packs and transaction exports where available.

Do You Share Data With HMRC?

No.

Simple Self-Employed does not submit information to HMRC.

We do not share your information with HMRC unless legally required to do so.

Do You Share Data With Accountants?

Only if you choose to.

You decide what reports to generate and who receives them.

Accountants do not have automatic access to your account.

How Do You Protect Accounts?

We encourage all users to:

• Use strong passwords
• Enable security features where available
• Keep devices secure
• Avoid sharing login credentials

Security is a shared responsibility between users and service providers.

Security Is An Ongoing Process

No online service can guarantee absolute security.

However, we continuously work to improve the security and reliability of the platform.

As the platform evolves, our security practices will evolve with it.
