Data & Security

RAD keeps a record of your work. It doesn't keep watch over you.
Here's exactly what RAD captures, what it ignores, and what it will never do with your data.

Why RAD needs to capture work at all

An R&D tax claim has to be backed by contemporaneous evidence: proof of the work, captured as it happens. Without RAD, that falls on you: daily manual timesheets, and retrospective journals that try to capture "what was I doing in March?" will not suffice any longer according to new ATO rules. Evidence must be captured as it happens.

RAD is designed to document work in the background with minimal interruption. Think logbook that fills itself in, not a camera on your desk.
