Privacy by Design

At harmon.ie, we are committed to protecting your users’ fundamental right to privacy through transparent technology, processes, and procedures related to your data and how it is used.

harmon.ie has no backend; this means that we do not process, store, or handle any of your documents or files. Although harmon.ie helps your users organize their information on M365 and Outlook, we never have access to the information and never handle it on our servers. This is important to us: all of your data remains on your tenant!

How we protect your privacy

harmon.ie uses a three-pronged approach to protecting your privacy that incorporates design, certifications, and credentials held by harmon.ie that demonstrate adherence to data privacy principles and rules, and best practices for data protection.

Privacy begins with the design of harmon.ie

The harmon.ie plugin resides exclusively within your Microsoft tenant or on-premises servers, so your emails, files, and data share the same privacy protections as your current Microsoft environment. That means there’s no risk of data leakage because your data never leaves your premises or cloud tenant. Even better, harmon.ie leverages your existing Microsoft environment permissions, for more seamless integration without additional steps to protect your privacy.
