Data and privacy
- All processing happens on the M2. It works offline and stores each scan on the device by default.
- The customer chooses where records go: QBOID Cloud, its own endpoint, both, or nowhere.
- QBOID Cloud runs in two regions, chosen at sign-up: US (
customers.qboid.ai) and EU (eu.customers.qboid.ai). Data stays in the chosen region. - Customers own their data. QBOID doesn't sell operational data and can't access data on a device remotely.
- QBOID never stores payment card data; store payments are processed by Shopify.
