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.

  • harmon.ie Design

    The harmon.ie plugin resides exclusively within your Microsoft tenant or on-premises servers. There’s no risk of data leakage because your data never leaves your premises or cloud tenant.

  • Certifications

    harmon.ie is proud to hold the following privacy-relevant certifications:

    ✔ Microsoft Trusted Gold Partner

    ✔ Microsoft AI Content Partner

    ✔ Microsoft 365 App Compliance program for the new harmon.ie


  • Best Practices

    Leveraging best practices for the design and development of private applications. Maintaining privacy and cookie policies. No access for us to your code.

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.

Best Practices

In addition to designing for privacy, certifications, and standards, we also protect your information by leveraging best practices for the design and development of private applications. These include:

  • Privacy policy. Harmon.ie maintains a detailed privacy policy and updates it regularly.
  • Cookie policy. Harmon.ie also has a policy that details how the website handles cookies.
  • No access for us. Because your data stays in your environment, no harmon.ie employees have direct access to your data and have no way to download private information under any circumstances.
  • Keeping up with policy regulations and developments globally. Harmon.ie has users around the world. We routinely examine how requirements and regulations may change and evolve to ensure harmon.ie is always ahead of the game instead of reacting after the fact.
