Your Business Data
BusinessMind processes business data (customer records, inventory, transactions, etc.) entered by you and your Authorized Users. This data belongs to you, and we process it solely to provide the Platform services. We do not access, analyze, or use your business data for any purpose other than delivering and supporting the Platform, unless required by law.
If you are an individual whose personal data has been entered into BusinessMind by a jewelry store (for example, as a customer record), please contact that jewelry store directly regarding your data. DCIT processes this data on behalf of the jewelry store as a data processor.
International Data Transfers
The Platform is hosted on Amazon Web Services infrastructure located primarily in the United States. If you are located outside the United States, your data will be transferred to and processed in the United States. We implement appropriate safeguards for international data transfers, including standard contractual clauses where required. For individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA), please contact us for additional information about the safeguards we use.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect personal data, including:
- Encryption of data in transit (TLS) and at rest
- Secure authentication and access controls
- Regular security monitoring and incident response procedures
- Multi-tenant architecture with complete data isolation between accounts
- Regular data backups
No system is completely secure. While we take extensive measures to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We retain personal data for as long as we have an ongoing business relationship with you and for a reasonable period afterward as necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When personal data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it in accordance with our data retention policies.
