Security & Privacy
How secure is my data?
Very secure. We use AES-256 encryption (the same standard banks use) to protect your formulas at rest, and TLS encryption to protect data in transit. Your data is also backed up daily. Learn more about our security practices.
Can Formuley employees see my formulas?
No. Your formulas are encrypted, and we've built the system so that only you can decrypt and view your data. Our team cannot access your recipes.
What happens to my data if Formuley shuts down?
You can export all your data anytime from Settings. If we ever shut down, we'd give at least 90 days notice and ensure everyone can export their data.
Do you sell my data?
Never. We make money from subscriptions, not from selling data. Your formulas are your competitive advantage—we'd never compromise that.
Where is my data stored?
On secure cloud servers with enterprise-grade infrastructure. The data centers have physical security, DDoS protection, and are used by major companies worldwide.
Can I export my data?
Yes! Go to Settings > Security > Export Data. You'll download a JSON file with all your formulas, ingredients, batches, and financial records.
What if I accidentally delete something?
Contact us within 7 days at support@formuley.io. We keep daily backups for 7 days and may be able to help you recover deleted data.
