ProjectPacer
Security & privacy

We track your time, not you.

Your work is yours. We take only what the product needs to run, protect it with real encryption, and hand you the controls to see, export, or delete any of it. No screen watching, no data sale, and nothing logged without your okay.

Your account
Name, email, a hashed password

Time entries, clients, projects, rates
Only what you connect

Only what the product needs to run.
Our promises

What we don't do.

Trust comes down to specifics. Here's what ProjectPacer doesn't do, in writing.

No screen or keystroke capture

The desktop app records timestamps only — not your screen, your keystrokes, your webcam, or your location.

No selling your data

We don't sell or rent your data, to anyone, for anything. You pay us for software; that's the whole business.

No silent logging

Nothing becomes tracked time on its own. Every AI suggestion waits for you to approve, edit, or skip it.

No training on your work

Suggestions run on our own logic, not an outside AI model. Your data isn't shipped off to train anyone's.

We measure your time, not your behavior.

What we collect

The minimum to do the job.

Your account

Your name, your email, and a password we only ever store hashed. Just enough to sign you in and reach you.

The work you track

The time entries, clients, projects, tasks, and rates you enter. This is the product itself — the data you put in, and it stays yours.

Signals, only from what you turn on

Connect an integration and we read just enough to suggest entries — event titles and times, activity timestamps, nothing more. Not your screen, not your keystrokes, not the content of your work itself.

How it's protected

We protect it the way we'd want ours protected.

Your data is encrypted in transit, and the tokens you connect are sealed again at rest with AES-256-GCM. Passwords are hashed with bcrypt, and a reset signs out every session, everywhere. Each workspace is walled off from every other, and nightly backups are encrypted before they leave our servers, then restore-tested — so they’re really there if the worst happens.

HTTPS in transit; the tokens you connect sealed again at rest with AES-256-GCM
Passwords even we can't read
Hashed with bcrypt, so nobody sees them; a reset signs out every session, everywhere
Isolated and logged
Every workspace walled off in our code; privileged actions on an append-only log
Backed up, and tested
Nightly off-site backups, encrypted before they leave our servers, then restore-tested
Who else touches it

A short list of vendors, every one named.

You pay us for software — that's the whole business. No ad model, nothing to sell, no reason to want more of your data than the job needs. A handful of US-based vendors help us run it, each bound to protect your data as we do.

Your control

It's your data, and you can prove it.

Export it all, anytime

Download a full copy of your data — every time entry, client, and project — as a file you keep. For your accountant, your records, or peace of mind.

Delete it for good

Delete a workspace or your whole account yourself. You get 30 days to change your mind, then it's permanently erased.

Disconnect any tool

Everything you've connected is listed in Settings. Unlink a calendar, GitHub, or the desktop app in one click, and the signals stop that moment.

Choose how long signals are kept

The activity behind AI Suggestions auto-deletes on a window you pick — 3, 7, 14, or 30 days. View the full log, or clear it, whenever you like.

In depth

The details, in the docs.

Every line above is spelled out in the help center, no account required, and when any of it changes we update the page and tell you, rather than change it quietly.
