Hosting, providers, and backups
Where your data is hosted
Unitly is built for Canadian landlords first. Data is currently hosted in established US cloud regions. We are evaluating Canadian-region hosting as we grow. We rely on our infrastructure providers for the underlying servers, networking, and physical security of the data centers.
Who processes your data
A short list of established providers helps run Unitly. Each handles a specific, limited part of the service.
| Provider | What it does | What it touches | Region |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vercel | Application hosting | Application traffic and logs | US cloud regions |
| Neon | Managed Postgres database | Application data, encrypted at rest | US cloud regions |
| Stripe | Rent and subscription payments | Card and bank details, payout status | Stripe’s own infrastructure |
Backups
The managed database performs automated backups with point-in-time recovery through our database provider, so recent changes can be restored if something goes wrong. No backup system is a substitute for keeping your own copy, which is why you can export your data at any time.
02 · How it is protected
Encryption, access, and payments
Encryption and access
Data is encrypted in transit using HTTPS and TLS, and encrypted at rest by our database provider. Access is property-scoped, so only the people you invite to a property can see that property’s data. Managers and tenants see only what their role and property assignment allow.
Who handles payments
Rent and subscription payments are processed by Stripe. Raw card and bank details are never stored on Unitly servers. We keep references and payment status so you can track payouts, but the sensitive credentials stay with the payment processor.
03 · You stay in control
Your records stay yours
Export and deletion
You can export your data at any time, and you can request account deletion. Exporting gives you a copy of your records to keep, move, or archive on your own terms.
How long we keep your data
We keep your data while your account is active so your leases, payments, and history stay available to you. When you delete your account, your data is removed from the live service, and residual copies age out of backups over time. Because you can export at any point, you always control your own long-term copy.
For Canadian landlords
Unitly is built for Canadian landlords, and we aim to handle personal information in line with PIPEDA, Canada’s federal privacy law for private-sector organizations. If you have questions about how your tenants’ information is handled, we are happy to walk through it.
If Unitly winds down
Because you can export your data at any time, you always keep a copy of your records. If the service were to wind down, your exported data remains usable independently of Unitly.
04 · Operating in the open
Verifiable, and honest about the rest
Uptime and status
A public version endpoint lets you verify which build is deployed at any time. A formal public status page is on our roadmap. We do not advertise a specific uptime guarantee, and we would rather be honest about that than promise a number we have not committed to.
Who is behind Unitly
Unitly is built and operated by a small independent team focused on simpler software for small and independent landlords. We are not a large enterprise vendor, and we try to be straightforward about what the product does and how it handles your data.
