Is Tempo secure?

Security Overview

Tempo has some of the best security features among online Time Trackers. We use full time SSL encryption for ALL of our web interfaces on ALL of our plans. This includes encryption for
  • the primary site
  • bookmarklet
  • iPhone interface
  • mobile web browser interface
  • dashboard widget
  • XML API.

The only methods of logging time that are not cryptographically secured are Twitter and Email/SMS simply because we have no way of enforcing the encryption. Tempo’s database and web server are protected by a firewall and also run intrusion detection software.

Basecamp & Blinksale

Blinksale and Basecamp are third party software platforms that offer SSL on their premium plans. They have a solid reputation in the web software community. If you check the “Use SSL” option under Blinksale or Basecamp settings in your Tempo account then communication between our systems will be encrypted.

Is my data backed up?

Yes, all data is backed up daily.

Can we install Tempo on our own server?

No, Tempo is available as a hosted service (software-as-a-service). It’s easier this way – trust us to run the system so you’re free to focus on your business.
