Novium ("the App") is a billing and payment-tracking tool built for independent freelance interpreters. This policy explains what information the App accesses, how it's stored, and how it's used.
Your business data — clients, assignments, invoices, and payment records — is stored securely in Novium's private cloud database, with automatic backup copies saved to your own Google Drive. Nobody else's data is mixed with yours, and nothing is sold or shared with third parties beyond the service providers described below.
When you use the App, you may enter information such as:
This information is saved securely in Novium's private cloud database, tied to your account.
If you choose to connect your Google account, the App requests the following permissions, used only for the specific purposes below:
Novium's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
We use information received from Google only to provide the features described above. We do not use it for advertising, and we do not sell it. No person at Novium reads your Google data unless you ask us to for support, it is needed for security or to investigate abuse, or the law requires it.
Novium is built to keep your data secure using standard industry practices:
Subscription payments are processed by Stripe, a third-party payment processor. When you subscribe, your payment card details are entered directly with Stripe and are never stored on or transmitted through Novium's own servers. Stripe uses this information solely to process your payment and manage your subscription, in accordance with Stripe's own privacy policy. Novium retains only the subscription status and billing history needed to manage your account (e.g., which plan you're on and whether payment is current) — not your card details.
If you join our waitlist on getnovium.com, we collect your email address so we can contact you about Novium. To be removed, email us at the address below.
We keep your data for as long as your account exists. Novium does not currently delete accounts automatically, so if you stop using the App or cancel your subscription, your data stays in your account until you ask us to delete it (see below). Once we verify a deletion request, we will delete your data within 30 days, except where a limited retention period is required to comply with legal, tax, or accounting obligations.
You can disconnect your Google account at any time from within the App, which also revokes the App's access at Google. You can also remove access at any time in your Google Account settings under "Third-party apps & services." You can download a full copy of your data at any time from within the App.
Disconnecting Google stops Novium from accessing your Google account, but it does not delete anything already saved. Assignments already imported into your Novium account stay there until you or we delete them, and backup files already saved to your Google Drive stay in your Drive. You can delete those backup files yourself at any time by deleting the "Novium Backups" folder in your Google Drive.
You may request deletion of your account and all associated data by emailing masprofessionalservices.office@gmail.com. Once we've verified the request, we will permanently delete your data from our systems within 30 days, except where a limited retention period is required for legal, tax, or accounting purposes. Deleted data cannot be recovered. Backups saved in your own Google Drive or downloaded to your own device are not stored by us, so we cannot delete them for you.
If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after a change means you accept the updated policy.
