• Account Information — your name, email address, and password when you register.
• Business Information — company name, tax identification numbers, and financial data you enter into the system.
• Transaction Data — invoices, receipts, tax records, and fiscal reports generated through the system.
• Usage Data — pages visited, actions performed, login timestamps, and IP addresses.

⚙️ How We Use Your Information

Your information is used solely to provide and improve the FiscTech service. Specifically:

🛡️ Data Storage & Security

All data entered into FiscTech is stored securely on protected servers. We implement industry-standard security measures including:

• Encrypted passwords using bcrypt hashing — passwords are never stored in plain text.

• CSRF protection on all forms to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks.
• Regular database backups to prevent data loss.

FiscTech uses cookies and session storage to keep you securely logged in and to maintain system state across pages. These are essential for the system to function correctly.

• Session Cookies — temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser.
