Your employer owns the record. Momiji holds it for them, and does what they say with it.

What that means in practice

If you are an employee and you want to see your record, correct it, or ask why something is in it, your employer is the right place to start. They entered it and they can change it. Momiji will not hand your record to you over your employer’s head, and would not want the power to.

If you are the employer, the opposite applies: it is your data, you can read all of it, and the answers to your people’s questions are yours to give. Where the law gives an employee a right of access or correction, that right runs against you as the custodian, and Momiji’s job is to make honouring it straightforward rather than to stand in the middle of it.

Under Canadian federal privacy law, and under provincial employment standards legislation that sets what employment records must contain and how long they must be kept, that split is the normal arrangement for a payroll system. We are stating it plainly rather than leaving you to infer it.

One thing that follows from it, since it is the question every buyer asks: Momiji has no feature that lets us log in as you. There is no impersonation, no view as tenant, no support login, and no role in the system that can read another company’s records. What access we do have is set out in what we do not claim, further down, because it belongs with the honest answers rather than inside a sentence about encryption.

What we hold

Everything below is entered by your employer, or produced by Momiji from what they entered:

• People. Name, contact details, job and department, employment dates, province of employment, pay rate, emergency contact, and whatever documents your employer chooses to keep on file.
• Time. Punches with their timestamps, the site they were made against, and the location reading taken at that moment where the device provides one. Timesheets, approvals, and the corrections managers make.
• Leave. Requests, balances, accruals, decisions, and who decided.
• Expenses. Claims, receipt images, and what a model read off those images for a person to confirm.
• Pay. Committed pay runs, statements, year-end slips, and the calculation trail behind each figure.
• Documents. Files uploaded, files generated, and signatures with the fingerprint of the exact bytes they signed.
• Who did what. An audit record of privileged actions, including who released a salary figure and when, though never the figure itself.

What we never hold

There is no Social Insurance Number column and no bank account, transit or institution column anywhere in the schema. They were removed early and never came back, which means Momiji holds no payment destination for anyone: net pay leaves your own bank against a printed wire sheet. A SIN is keyed in only at the moment a T4 slip is generated, appears on that slip in your own vault, and is never written to a database field.

We also hold no advertising identifier, no cross-site tracking profile, and no third-party marketing data about anyone. There is no advertising or attribution software in the product or in the app.

Two more things worth knowing. The app does not track you across other apps or websites, so it never asks permission to, and there is no advertising identifier anywhere in it. And when you open a document, the app mints a link that expires in five minutes and hands it to your phone’s own browser rather than rendering the file itself, so from that moment the document is in your browser’s hands and subject to whatever it does with downloads.

How long records are kept

Retention is mostly your employer’s call, and where it is not, the reason is either the law or a deliberate design decision we will name.

• Location readings expire. Each company sets its own window, ninety days unless it changes it, and a nightly job erases the latitude, longitude and accuracy from every punch past that window. The punch itself stays, because the hours are the record; only the coordinates go.
• Payroll records are kept, and are permanent by design. Once a pay run is committed its register cannot be edited or deleted through the product, by anyone, including your own owner account. A correction is a new reversing run that leaves both on the record. Employment and payroll records also carry statutory retention periods under federal and provincial law, and where the law requires a record to survive, the product keeps it.
• Receipts and issued T4 slips are retained on purpose. Expense and payroll records need to outlast the person who filed them. The consequence is real and worth stating: a document filed in error cannot be deleted through the product today. If you need something removed, it is a conversation with us, not a button.
• The audit log has no eraser. There is no update path and no delete path from the application, for any role.
• Abandoned drafts are cleaned up. A receipt image left behind by a deleted draft line, a deleted draft report, or a capture abandoned before it was ever attached, is reclaimed weekly once it is at least forty-eight hours old and provably attached to nothing. Each deletion is written into that company’s own audit trail. An image that is still referenced, or whose age cannot be established, is kept.
• Two things simply accumulate. An invitation that expires is marked expired rather than deleted, and the nightly document backup has no expiry on old copies. Neither is a leak, and both are records living longer than they need to, which is a different thing from a policy.

Your rights, and where to take them

If you are employed by a company that uses Momiji, ask your employer first. They are the custodian: access, correction, and questions about why something is on file are theirs to answer, and they can act on them the same day. Your own pay statements, slips and signed documents are already in your account for you to read and download whenever you want, one at a time. There is no single button that packages your whole record and none that erases it: both are requests we handle by hand today, and we would rather tell you that than imply a control that does not exist.

Anything about Momiji itself is ours to answer, and you do not need to go through your employer for it: how the system processes information, what a subprocessor in the table above receives, how a control works, or a complaint about us. Write to hello@mymomiji.com and a real person will answer. If you are running a formal security or privacy review, ask for the migration, policy or test behind any line on this page and you will get it. Where the honest answer is that something is not built, that is the answer you will get; our security page lists what we do not claim, on purpose.

If we cannot resolve something with you, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada takes complaints about organizations subject to federal privacy law.

This website, separately

The page you are reading is the marketing site, and it holds nobody’s employee records. It uses PostHog to see how it is read: pages visited, clicks, and recordings of these public pages. Visitors are anonymous, there is no sign-in and no identify call in the code, and the identifier is a random value in a cookie. Query strings are stripped before anything is sent, which matters because the Stripe session id on the checkout success page could otherwise be exchanged for a buyer’s name. Two disclosures we would rather make than leave you to find: these recordings capture text and mouse movement on the public pages, and this site does not honour Do Not Track.

None of that analytics software is in the web app at app.mymomiji.com, and it never will be. In the app a captured URL would carry an employee’s identifier and a recorded screen would be a salary leak played back frame by frame, which is why usage measurement there is built server side, inside the same tenancy rules as everything else.

Starting a subscription hands you to Stripe, which collects your name, email and payment method. We receive a confirmation and the email you used, so we can reach you to begin onboarding. Terms covers the agreement itself.

What we do not claim

Our security page ends with the gaps rather than the strengths, and this page keeps the same habit, because the fastest way to lose your trust is to have you discover one of these yourself.

• Not everything on your phone is encrypted. The session, your saved logins and queued punches are. The 24-hour cache that lets the app work without a signal is not, and it can hold figures you have looked at, the coordinates on your own punches, and names from your directory. It sits inside the app sandbox under the operating system’s protection, which is real but is not the same as a key of ours.
• iOS declares permissions the app does not use. Building on Expo brings default purpose strings for always-on location, motion and the microphone. The app has no code that uses any of them and never asks for them, and on Android the microphone permission is removed from the build outright. On iOS the strings still ship, which is untidy rather than harmful, and it is on the list to fix.
• Analytics infers roughly where you are. We send PostHog no location at all, but it resolves the network address an event arrives from to an approximate city and country at its end. We do not use the result. It is derived, and we are not going to write a sentence that implies otherwise.
• Crash reports are scrubbed by rule, not by proof. Identity is an allowlist, and money, coordinates and query strings are removed by pattern and by field name. A name quoted inside an error message would be truncated rather than caught. The breadcrumbs that would realistically carry one, console output and what you typed and tapped, are dropped entirely.
• We hold no external audit. Momiji has no SOC 2 report and has not had an outside penetration test. Our reviews are internal, and we would rather say so than let a phrase imply otherwise.
• We can technically read your data. There is no impersonation feature and no support login, but the keys that run the nightly backups, the retention sweep and the scheduled jobs bypass every tenancy rule by design, and the people who hold those keys are us. That is the ordinary position for hosted software and it belongs in daylight rather than in a footnote.

Changes

This page changes when the system changes, in the same release, not on an annual review cycle. The effective date at the top moves with it, and subscribing organizations are told by email when a change is material rather than editorial.
