Security

A plain account of how INKD Royalties protects your royalty records, written for finance and operations teams. It describes what the software does today. INKD does not currently hold third-party security certifications such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001.

Questions: support@inkdroyalties.com

INKD never moves money

INKD does not collect, hold, transfer or process royalty payments. Your locations keep paying you directly, and you record those payments in INKD. Payments for your INKD subscription are handled by Dodo Payments; INKD never sees full card details.

Encryption

Connections to INKD use HTTPS, so data is encrypted in transit. Passwords are never stored in readable form; they are hashed with scrypt and a unique salt. Sign-in cookies are HTTP-only and sent over secure connections in production.

Separation per customer

Every record belongs to one business, and every request is checked against the signed-in user's business. Team members see their business's data. Locations only see their own reports and statements.

Who can access your data

Inside your business: owners and admins manage the workspace; viewers have read access; locations see only their own records. You can turn on two-step verification with an authenticator app, and sign-in attempts are rate limited.

Inside INKD: platform access is limited to designated administrators who must pass two-step verification. When an administrator opens a customer account for support, that session is read-only and expires within an hour. Sensitive support actions are logged.

Backups

The database is backed up daily to private storage, and each backup is checksummed. Backups are kept for 30 days and then deleted.

Export and delete everything

The account owner can download all workspace data at any time from Settings as a ZIP: the records (everything except passwords, keys and other secrets), the original uploaded files and a file manifest. The owner can also permanently delete the workspace. Billing, terms and login records are retained for 2 years; backup copies are purged within 30 days. See the privacy policy.

Subprocessors

Replit (hosting, database and file storage), Resend (email), Dodo Payments (checkout and billing), OpenAI (AI support) and Google Ads (ad measurement, only with consent where required). See the full subprocessor list. INKD's policy is that customer data is not authorized for AI model training.
