Cloud4Sure Hub

Privacy policy

Last updated 8 October 2026

Who we are

Cloud4Sure Hub is an internal tool operated by Cloud4Sure to provide IT support to its customers. Cloud4Sure is responsible for the information held in it.

What information we hold

  • Customer details: company names, contact names, email addresses, phone numbers and addresses. Some of these are read from QuickBooks Online when it is connected.
  • Staff accounts: name, email address, a scrambled (hashed) password and authenticator settings for each Cloud4Sure user.
  • Activity records: sign-ins, failed sign-in attempts and changes, with the time and IP address, kept for security.

How we use it

Only to provide and manage IT support for our customers, and to keep the application secure. We do not sell this information or use it for advertising. We only share it with the service providers that help us run our support service (such as the AI processing of support emails described below), or where the law requires it.

Support emails and AI

Emails sent to our support address are stored as support tickets. To help answer them, the text of a support email may be processed by Anthropic's Claude AI service, which suggests troubleshooting steps and writes general help articles. Anthropic doesn't use this data to train its models. Help articles never include names or details that identify a person or business, and anything involving security, accounts or billing is handled by a member of our team.

QuickBooks Online

When connected, the application reads customer records from QuickBooks. It never changes anything in QuickBooks. The keys that allow access are stored encrypted. Disconnecting QuickBooks stops all further access; customer details already imported stay in the application until deleted.

How we keep it safe

  • All connections are encrypted (HTTPS).
  • Every user signs in with a password and an authenticator app code.
  • The database is not reachable from the internet, and QuickBooks access keys are encrypted when stored.
  • The application runs on a server Cloud4Sure controls, hosted by OVHcloud.

How long we keep it

Customer information is kept while we provide support to that customer and deleted when it is no longer needed. Database backups are kept for 14 days.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask to see, correct or delete information we hold about you. Contact us at the address below. If you're unhappy with how we handle your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
