Privacy policy

How Numbers Game handles your data and your clients’.

Numbers Game B.V. — effective 19 May 2026. We collect what we need to keep your books, and nothing else.

At a glance

We are Numbers Game B.V., a Dutch private limited company. Because we are established in the EU, the GDPR governs everything we do — even though most of our customers are US accounting firms.

We act in two roles: as a controller for our Firm users, our website visitors, and our prospects; and as a processor for the QuickBooks Online client records the Firm authorizes us to handle.

We use Anthropic’s Claude models to assist with bookkeeping tasks. Your prompts and the bookkeeping context we send are never used to train Anthropic’s models.

We do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

You can reach our privacy team at [email protected].

01Who we are

Numbers Game B.V. (KvK 81465688) operates the Numbers Game service at ai.numbersgame.xyz — an AI-assisted bookkeeping product that connects to QuickBooks Online on behalf of accounting firms and their clients.

Registered office

Netherlands

Privacy contact: [email protected]

We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer, because our processing activities do not meet the thresholds in Article 37 GDPR. The privacy contact above is our designated point of contact for all data protection enquiries.

Because our establishment is in the Netherlands, our lead supervisory authority is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (Dutch DPA), Hoge Nieuwstraat 8, 2514 EL The Hague — autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl.

02Who this policy applies to, and our role

This policy describes how we handle personal information in three distinct contexts.

Firm users. Partners, accountants, and staff who use Numbers Game to keep books for clients. For Firm users, we are the controller.

Client records. Bookkeeping data the Firm authorizes us to access in QuickBooks Online — chart of accounts, vendors, customers, transactions, journal entries, and the actions we take on them. For client records, the Firm is the controller and Numbers Game is the processor. The terms of our processing are set out in our Data Processing Agreement, which forms part of the Master Subscription Agreement. A current copy is available on request — email [email protected].

Website visitors and prospects. Anyone browsing numbersgame.xyz or ai.numbersgame.xyz, or who contacts us about the product. For these contexts, we are the controller.

03What we collect, why, and on what legal basis

The table below describes each category of personal information we collect, the purposes we use it for, and our lawful basis under Article 6 GDPR.

CategoryExamplesPurposeLawful basis (GDPR Art. 6)
Firm user account dataName, work email, role at the firm, SSO identifierProvision the product, authenticate users, support, billing administrationContract (6(1)(b)) with the Firm; legitimate interests (6(1)(f)) for support and account integrity
Product activityActions taken in the product, timestamps, rules invoked, items reviewed or postedMaintain the audit trail, troubleshoot, detect misuse, secure the serviceContract (6(1)(b)); legal obligation (6(1)(c)) where audit records are needed for tax-adjacent compliance; legitimate interests (6(1)(f)) for security
QBO client records (as processor)Chart of accounts, vendors, customers, transactions, journal entries, attachmentsCategorize transactions, reconcile accounts, draft reports, write back to QBO at the Firm’s instructionProcessed under the Firm’s instructions per Article 28 GDPR; the Firm determines its own lawful basis
Connected Slack workspace dataChannel IDs and message-post permissions for channels the Firm explicitly connectsPost notifications and approvals to the channels the Firm wires upContract (6(1)(b))
Website server logsIP address, user agent, page URL, request timestamps, referrerOperate the site, mitigate abuse, debugLegitimate interests (6(1)(f)) in running a secure service
Sales and support correspondenceEmail content, attachments, demo notesRespond to enquiries, schedule meetings, qualify prospectsLegitimate interests (6(1)(f)); pre-contractual measures (6(1)(b)) where applicable
Billing recordsFirm legal entity, billing address, invoices, payment statusCharge the Firm for the subscriptionContract (6(1)(b)); legal obligation (6(1)(c)) for invoice retention

We do not request QBO scopes we do not need. We do not read Slack channels we have not been wired into. We do not collect special-category personal data under Article 9 GDPR and ask Firms not to upload it through the product.

04How we use AI in the product

Numbers Game uses Anthropic’s Claude models to assist with bookkeeping tasks. When you interact with the product, the relevant prompt — together with the minimum QBO context needed to answer it — is sent to Anthropic over a TLS-encrypted connection.

Training. Under our enterprise agreement with Anthropic, our prompts and the model’s outputs are not used to train any Anthropic model.

Retention at Anthropic. Inputs and outputs are retained for the period set in our Anthropic configuration (currently the zero-retention default, with limited short-retention for abuse-detection on specific endpoints). The current state is available on request — email [email protected].

Tenancy isolation. Numbers Game stores Firm and client data in per-Firm tenancies. We do not commingle data across Firms and we do not share data across Firms’ tenancies.

Automated decision-making (Article 22 GDPR). Numbers Game uses AI to suggest transaction categorizations, journal entries, and reconciliations. A Firm user reviews and authorizes material write-backs to QuickBooks Online before they post. We do not use AI to take legal or significantly similar decisions about individuals without meaningful human review. If you believe a specific automated suggestion has produced an outcome that affects you, you can ask us to involve a human reviewer using the contact above.

05Who we share personal information with

We share personal information only with the recipients listed below, and only as needed for the purposes in section 3.

A current sub-processor list — with each recipient’s role, location, and transfer mechanism — is available on request from [email protected]. Firm administrators are notified at least 30 days before a new sub-processor begins processing client records, with the opportunity to object as set out in the DPA.

We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not engage in profiling of individuals for advertising purposes.

06International transfers

Numbers Game B.V. is established in the Netherlands. Because we provide a service to firms in the United States and use US-based sub-processors, personal information is transferred to the United States and (depending on Cloudflare edge routing) other countries.

For each transfer outside the EEA, we rely on one or more of the following:

  • The EU–US Data Privacy Framework (and the UK Extension, where UK personal data is in scope), for recipients that maintain a current self-certification;
  • The 2021 Standard Contractual Clauses (Commission Decision 2021/914), with the appropriate module per relationship, supplemented by a Transfer Impact Assessment and supplementary technical measures (encryption in transit and at rest, key management, access controls, and minimization);
  • Where applicable, derogations under Article 49 GDPR — but only for occasional and necessary transfers.

A copy of the SCCs and our TIA for a specific recipient is available to Firm controllers on request.

07Where data lives, and for how long

Tenancy. Firm and client data is stored by default in the Oracle Cloud Amsterdam region. US-tenancy and hybrid configurations are available to Enterprise customers.

Retention.

DataRetention
Firm user account dataLife of the Firm’s account, then deleted within 30 days of account closure
Client records and audit log (as processor)Life of the Firm’s account. On termination, deleted or returned within 30 days at the Firm’s election, subject to the retention requirements below
Billing recordsSeven (7) years after the end of the fiscal year, to meet Dutch fiscal record-keeping obligations (Article 52 AWR) and equivalent US obligations
Server logs (security and operational)90 days, then deleted or aggregated beyond identifiability
BackupsEncrypted backups are rotated on a 35-day cycle. Personal information in backups becomes unreachable for new processing as soon as deletion completes in the primary store, and is overwritten on the rotation schedule
Sales and support correspondence24 months from last contact, unless a contract is in place

We will not retain personal information longer than necessary. Where a legal hold, an audit obligation, or an ongoing legal claim requires longer retention, we will preserve the minimum data needed for that specific purpose and isolate it from operational systems.

08Security

Numbers Game is built around minimization, separation, and a tight audit trail.

  • TLS 1.3 in transit; AES-256 at rest.
  • OAuth refresh tokens for QuickBooks Online and Slack are stored under envelope encryption with 90-day key rotation.
  • Per-Firm tenancy isolation in storage and processing; no cross-tenant queries.
  • Role-based access control on the product; production access by Numbers Game personnel is logged, time-bound, and reviewed.
  • Continuous vulnerability monitoring and a coordinated disclosure program at [email protected].
  • SOC 2 Type II audit in progress; report expected Q3 2026. Current attestations and the security overview are available at numbersgame.xyz/security.

Personal data breach handling. Where Numbers Game acts as controller, we will notify the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens within 72 hours of becoming aware of a personal data breach where required by Article 33 GDPR, and will notify affected individuals without undue delay where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to their rights and freedoms (Article 34 GDPR). Where Numbers Game acts as processor, we will notify the affected Firm controller without undue delay — and in any event within 48 hours — of becoming aware of a personal data breach, with the information the Firm needs to meet its own 72-hour notification obligation.

09Your rights

Subject to the conditions in the applicable law, you have the rights listed below.

Under the GDPR / UAVG, you have the right to:

  • access the personal data we hold about you (Article 15);
  • have inaccurate personal data corrected (Article 16);
  • have personal data erased in defined circumstances (Article 17);
  • restrict our processing (Article 18);
  • receive your personal data in a portable, machine-readable format and transmit it to another controller (Article 20);
  • object to processing based on legitimate interests, including any profiling (Article 21);
  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent (Article 7(3)) — withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal;
  • not be subject to a solely automated decision producing legal or similarly significant effects (Article 22) — see section 4 for how we handle human review;
  • lodge a complaint with the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl), or, if you live elsewhere in the EEA, with your local supervisory authority.

For US residents. Depending on where you live, US state privacy laws (CCPA/CPRA in California; VCDPA in Virginia; CPA in Colorado; CTDPA in Connecticut; UCPA in Utah; and equivalents in other states) give you the right to know what personal information we hold, request deletion or correction, opt out of ‘sale’ or ‘sharing’ (we do neither), and limit the use of sensitive personal information. We will respond to verifiable requests within the timeframes those laws require (typically 45 days, extendable once).

How to exercise these rights. Email [email protected]. Where you are a client of a Firm and the request concerns client records, we will route the request to the controlling Firm; we will support the Firm’s response, but we cannot act unilaterally on the Firm’s data.

We may need to verify your identity in a manner proportionate to the sensitivity of the request. We do not charge for handling a request unless it is manifestly unfounded or excessive (in which case we will tell you, and you can challenge our assessment).

10Cookies and tracking

numbersgame.xyz and ai.numbersgame.xyz use only strictly necessary cookies (session, authentication, CSRF protection, load-balancer affinity). We do not use third-party advertising cookies, cross-site trackers, or behavioral analytics. We do not currently run a web analytics product on the site.

If we add web analytics in future, we will publish an updated cookie notice and — where consent is required under Dutch implementation of the ePrivacy directive — collect prior consent before any non-essential storage or reading takes place on your device.

11Direct communications and marketing

We may email Firm users about product updates, security notices, and account administration. These are service messages relating to the contract and you cannot opt out without closing the account.

Where we send a marketing email — a newsletter, an event invitation, a feature announcement to a prospect — you can unsubscribe via the link in every message, or by emailing [email protected]. We do not buy marketing lists.

12Children

Numbers Game is a business product for accounting firms. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

13Changes to this policy

We will publish material changes here and email the administrator on every active Firm account at least 30 days before they take effect. The ‘Last reviewed’ date at the top of this policy is the authoritative version marker. Continued use of the service after the effective date is acceptance of the updated policy. Where a change requires fresh consent under the GDPR, we will collect that consent before applying the change to your data.

14For accounting firms (controller-to-processor terms)

Firms using Numbers Game enter into a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) that incorporates the EU 2021 Standard Contractual Clauses (Module 2/3) and addresses:

  • the subject-matter, duration, nature, and purpose of processing;
  • the categories of data subject and personal data;
  • our Article 28 GDPR obligations as processor, including sub-processor approval, breach notification, and assistance with data subject requests;
  • audit rights — including acceptance of our SOC 2 Type II report where adequate, with on-cause audit rights preserved;
  • deletion or return of data on termination.

A counter-signed copy is provided on contract execution. To request the current template before signing, write to [email protected].
