Security & privacy

Your data, your business — treated like it matters.

Trimsy stores your customer information, bookings and payment metadata so you can run your business with confidence. We keep it secure, respect your privacy and give you control over your data.

Hosted in Australia

Production data — bookings, customers, staff records, invoices and uploaded files — is stored in the Sydney region (ap-southeast-2). Some services we rely on, such as card processing and SMS delivery, handle limited data offshore; the Privacy Policy names them.

Encrypted

TLS 1.2+ in transit. Uploaded files, backups and sensitive form answers (such as health, allergy and consent details) are encrypted at rest with AES-256, with an extra layer of field-level encryption on the sensitive answers. Passwords are bcrypt-hashed with a per-password salt.

We never touch card data

Stripe or Square process card details. Trimsy receives a tokenised reference only.

Australian Privacy Act

Aligned with the Privacy Act 1988 and the 13 Australian Privacy Principles.

Role-based access + audit log

Per-staff permissions, admin MFA available, and an audit log of key actions (bookings, jobs and sign-ins).

Your data is portable

Cancel any time, export to CSV/JSON on request, 90-day retention then deletion.

How we protect your business

Security built into every layer.

From infrastructure to access controls, we follow proven practices to keep your data secure and give you peace of mind.

Data hosting & residency

Trimsy is hosted in Australian data centres. Each business (tenant) is isolated so your data is separate from other businesses.

Privacy & APP compliance

We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the 13 APPs. We do not sell customer data or share it across businesses.

Encryption

Data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2+. Uploaded files and backups are encrypted at rest with AES-256, and sensitive intake and consent form answers — health, allergy and medical details — carry an additional layer of field-level encryption. Core account fields are protected by strict access controls and tenant isolation, and passwords are bcrypt-hashed.

Access control & staff permissions

Role-based access (Admin, Staff, Stylist, Kiosk, Reporting). Failed logins are throttled and admin MFA is available.

Payments

Stripe Connect and/or Square Terminal. Card details go directly to those providers; Trimsy receives only tokenised references.

Backups & disaster recovery

Encrypted backups every night — database and files — kept 7 daily, 4 weekly, 6 monthly and 5 yearly, and stored in Australia like the live data. Nightly means at most one day of data at risk.

SMS & email (Spam Act)

Transactional messages are sent with customer consent. Marketing messages need a separate opt-in, in line with the Spam Act.

If you ever leave Trimsy

Export all of your data (CSV/JSON) any time. After cancellation your data is retained 90 days, then permanently deleted.

Payments without Trimsy touching your money.

Your customers pay securely through your own Stripe or Square account. Trimsy only receives a tokenised payment reference — we never see or store card details.
