We do not share, sell, or distribute any data accessed through our internal tools to any third party. Data remains within BHDA's own systems and authorised third-party service providers (e.g. Intuit QuickBooks).

6. Data Storage and Security

Data is processed on BHDA's own secure server infrastructure. API credentials are stored using environment-level encryption and are not accessible in application code.
