Data Collected

We collect data from every visitor of the Website to monitor traffic and fix bugs. For example, we collect information like web requests, the data sent in response to such requests, the Internet Protocol address, the browser type, the browser language, and a timestamp for the request.

We ask you to log in and provide certain personal information (such as your name and email address) in order to be able to save your profile and the contracts associated with it. In order to enable these or any other login based features, we use cookies to store session information for your convenience. You can block or delete cookies and still be able to use Bonsai, although if you do you will then be asked for your username and password every time you log in to the Website. In order to take advantage of certain features of the Website, you may also choose to provide us with other personal information, such as your picture or personal website, but your decision to utilize these features and provide such data will always be voluntary.

In addition to the data we collect through your direct use of the software, Bonsai also integrates with third party applications to enhance the features it provides. In particular, Bonsai offers a Google integration that gives Bonsai access to your calendar information. This integration gives the software access to your calendars and their events in order to enhance our invoicing and tasks features with custom events creation acting as reminders directly in your calendar. Bonsai doesn't collect or store any data from existing events nor does it change them.

With respect to any contracts you create via Bonsai, we take the privacy and confidentiality of such contracts seriously.

We employ industry standard techniques to protect against unauthorized access of data about you that we store, including personal information.

We do not share personal information you have provided to us without your consent, unless:

  • doing so is appropriate to carry out your own request;
  • we believe it's needed to enforce our Terms of Service, or that is legally required;
  • we believe it's needed to detect, prevent or address fraud, security or technical issues;
  • otherwise protect our property, legal rights, or that of others.
