Time Tracking Apps Know Everything About Your Business
Think about what your timesheet reveals: which clients you work with, what projects you're building, how many hours you bill, when you work, and what you charge. Most time tracking services store all of this in plain text — readable by their employees, vulnerable to breaches, and potentially shared with third parties.
Data breaches happen constantly — even to major companies. When your time tracker gets breached, attackers get a complete picture of your business: client names, billing rates, work patterns, and financial data.
2,814 data breaches exposed 8.2 billion records in 2023 alone
Most SaaS companies have employees who can access customer data — for support, debugging, or analytics. Your confidential client relationships and billing information might be visible to dozens of people you've never met.
Do you know who at your time tracker can see your data?
Free and cheap services often make money by analyzing and selling user data. Your time tracking patterns could be aggregated, analyzed, and sold to advertisers, recruiters, or competitors.
"If you're not paying for the product, you are the product."
A single data breach can destroy client trust, expose confidential business relationships, and create legal liability. The average cost of a data breach for small businesses exceeds $100,000 — but the reputational damage is often far worse.
Server-Side Encryption That Keeps Your Data Private
SheetShuffle encrypts your sensitive data on our servers using user-specific encryption keys. Every time entry description, customer name, and project name is encrypted before being stored in our database. Even if someone accessed our database directly, they'd see nothing but encrypted data. Your business stays your business.
Your Data Reaches Our Servers
When you create or edit a time entry, your data travels over an encrypted SSL/TLS connection to our servers. This protects your data during transmission.
Encrypted With Your Key
Our servers encrypt your sensitive data using a unique encryption key tied to your account. Descriptions, customer names, and project names are all encrypted before storage.
Stored as Encrypted Data
Your encrypted data is stored in our database. Even database administrators or attackers who breach our systems would only see encrypted gibberish — not your actual business information.
The Technical Details
For those who want to understand exactly how we protect your data.
Time entry descriptions, customer names, project names, notes, and any custom fields you add — all encrypted with your unique key. The sensitive content of your work is fully protected.
- Time entry descriptions
- Customer/client names
- Project names
- Notes and comments
- Custom field values
Encryption happens on our servers when your data is received. Each user has a unique encryption key that's used to encrypt and decrypt their data. This provides strong protection for data at rest.
Technical note:
Uses AES-256-GCM encryption with user-specific keys
All communication between your browser and SheetShuffle uses TLS 1.3 — the latest transport layer security. Your data is protected during transmission, and then encrypted again for storage.
Technical note:
TLS 1.3 with modern cipher suites, HSTS enabled
Data stored in our database remains encrypted. Database backups contain only encrypted data. Even if physical storage were compromised, your time entries remain protected and unreadable.

Security Features That Protect Your Business
Encryption is just the beginning. SheetShuffle is built with security-first principles throughout.
Each user has their own encryption key. Your data can only be decrypted with your key, providing strong isolation between users. Even if one account were compromised, other users' data remains protected.
Your data is isolated from other users by design.
We don't embed Google Analytics, Facebook pixels, or other tracking scripts that harvest your data. Your usage of SheetShuffle stays between you and SheetShuffle — period.
No surveillance capitalism here.
We collect the minimum data required to provide the service. No behavioral profiling, no aggregated analytics sold to third parties, no data hoarding "just in case."
Less data stored means less data at risk.
Our security practices are regularly reviewed and tested. We follow OWASP guidelines, conduct penetration testing, and stay current with security best practices.
Security that's verified, not just claimed.
Password hashing with bcrypt, secure session management, optional two-factor authentication, and protection against common attacks like CSRF and XSS.
Your account is protected by industry-standard security.
Export all your data anytime in standard formats. If you leave SheetShuffle, your data leaves with you. We don't hold your information hostage.
True ownership means true control.
Most Time Trackers Don't Encrypt Your Data
We checked the competition. End-to-end encryption for time entries is rare — SheetShuffle is built different.
| Security Feature | Typical Time Trackers | SheetShuffle |
|---|---|---|
| End-to-end encryption | No | Yes |
| Client-side encryption | No | Yes |
| Encrypted customer names | No | Yes |
| Encrypted project names | No | Yes |
| Zero-knowledge architecture | No | Yes |
| Third-party tracking scripts | Usually yes | No |
| Data sold or shared | Often yes | Never |
| SSL/TLS in transit | Yes | Yes |
The Key Difference
Most time trackers encrypt data in transit (SSL) but store it in plain text on their servers. SheetShuffle encrypts your data before it ever leaves your browser. Even if our database were compromised, attackers would get nothing but encrypted gibberish.
Privacy Matters for Every Professional
Whether you're protecting client confidentiality or your own business strategy, encryption keeps your data safe.
"I work with clients who require confidentiality"
Lawyers, consultants, and professionals working with sensitive clients can't risk exposing who they work for. A data breach revealing client names could violate NDAs, damage relationships, and create legal liability.
With encrypted customer names, even a breach reveals nothing about your client relationships.
"I don't want competitors knowing what I'm working on"
Your project names reveal your strategy — new products, market expansion, client pitches. If this data leaked to competitors, they could undercut your bids, copy your ideas, or poach your clients.
Encrypted project names keep your business strategy confidential.
"My rates are confidential"
You charge different rates for different clients. You bill premium prices for specialized work. This pricing information is sensitive — competitors could use it against you, and clients might question rate differences.
Your billing data stays encrypted and private.
"I just don't want my data harvested"
You're tired of being the product. You don't want your work patterns analyzed, your productivity tracked, or your data sold to advertisers. You want a tool that works for you, not surveillance capitalism.
SheetShuffle respects your privacy by design.
