Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 24, 2026 Application Name: ATA Opportunities Company: ATA Architects Inc.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy outlines how ATA Architects Inc. (“we”, “our”, or “us”) collects, uses, and safeguards information through the internal application known as “ATA Opportunities” (the “App”). The App is a private, unlisted software tool developed exclusively for internal use by authorized employees and contractors of ATA Architects Inc.

2. Information We Collect

Because the App is an internal corporate tool, we collect the following types of information:

  • QuickBooks Online Data: With explicit administrative authorization, the App connects to our company’s Intuit QuickBooks Online account to read and cache specific financial records (such as invoices, budgets, and customer profiles) necessary for internal project management and dashboarding.
  • Employee End-User Data: We collect basic profile information (such as name and corporate email address) from Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) to authenticate authorized personnel using the App.
  • Usage Logs & Audit Trails: The App automatically records system activity, including modifications made to project records by authenticated users, for internal security and auditing purposes.

3. How We Use the Information

The data collected by the App is strictly used for the following internal business operations:

  • To populate internal project management dashboards.
  • To track financial performance, opportunities, and proposals.
  • To maintain an audit trail of changes made by employees for accountability.
  • To authenticate, authorize, and assign permissions to our employees.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or lease any data collected by the App. All information, including any data retrieved from Intuit QuickBooks Online, is handled in strict confidence. Data is only accessible by:

  • Authorized personnel within ATA Architects Inc.
  • Our internal IT/Development teams for troubleshooting and maintenance.
  • Third-party service providers (such as hosting platforms) operating under strict confidentiality agreements solely to facilitate the infrastructure of the App.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. This includes:

  • Mandatory Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) via Microsoft Azure AD.
  • Encrypted storage of sensitive credentials using AES-256-GCM.
  • Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS) for all network traffic.
  • Strict Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC) to limit data visibility based on employee responsibilities.

6. Your Rights

Because the App is fundamentally an internal employee application, data privacy matters regarding employee information or company data are governed by overarching ATA Architects Inc. corporate policies and standard employment agreements. If you are an employee with questions regarding your data, please contact the IT Administration team.

7. Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy as our internal data practices evolve. Changes will be posted to this page, and significant updates will be communicated internally.
