Privacy Policy

Last updated 12 August 2026.

Dummy Guy Bookkeeping ("the integration") is a private internal tool operated by Dummy Guy, LLC ("we") for the sole purpose of reading our own accounting records from QuickBooks Online.

Who uses it

One person: the owner of Dummy Guy, LLC. The integration has no other users, no customers, and no public sign-up.

What data it accesses

Accounting data belonging to Dummy Guy, LLC only — profit and loss figures, expense records, vendor names, chart of accounts and transaction detail. It requests the com.intuit.quickbooks.accounting scope and no other. It does not request or access payments, payroll, or cardholder data.

What it stores

The integration does not maintain a database and does not retain QuickBooks data. Records are requested when needed and held only in memory for the duration of a task.

Two things are written to disk, both in owner-only files (permissions 0600) on an encrypted disk controlled by the business owner:

• OAuth credentials required to stay connected — client ID, client secret, refresh token and company realm ID.
• A local error log, written only when an API call fails. Each entry records the timestamp, the endpoint called, the HTTP status, Intuit's intuit_tid transaction identifier and the error message returned. It is kept so that faults can be reported to Intuit support with the identifier they need. It never contains access tokens, refresh tokens or credentials, and it is not sent anywhere.

Who it is shared with

No accounting data is sold, published, or shared with any third party for advertising, analytics or any other purpose. There is no third-party analytics, error-reporting or logging service in the integration.

Reports generated for internal review may be read by an AI assistant used by the business owner to prepare bookkeeping and financial analysis, acting solely on the owner's instruction and on the owner's behalf.

Security

• All communication with Intuit uses HTTPS/TLS.
• Tokens are never written to logs. Debug output shows at most the final four characters.
• Access is limited to the business owner's own devices.

Retention and deletion

No accounting data is retained, so there is nothing to delete. The connection can be revoked at any time from within QuickBooks Online, and the stored credential files deleted from the owner's machine, which permanently ends all access.
