Questions

What happens when the 30 days end?

Nothing disappears. Your workspace switches to read-only — every study stays visible and you can still export to PDF and CSV. Editing resumes once a licence is arranged.

Who owns the data I capture?

You do. It lives in your company workspace, is isolated from every other company by database-level rules, and we delete it on request.

Can my colleagues work in the same study?

Yes. A workspace owner can invite colleagues as editors or viewers, and everyone sees the same projects.

Is it built for South Africa?

Yes — savings, benefits and cost of loss are captured and reported in Rands, with local site and shift conventions.
