Data Security that Scales with Every Connected App

Data Privacy Week 2026

From highly-regulated businesses that undergo compliance audits to SMBs that focus on safe data standards, Glances was built to prioritize data security for all customers.

In honor of Data Privacy Week taking place later this month, we’re breaking down how Glances delivers industry-leading protections for your data (and your customers’ data) across every connected app in your tech stack. For our team at Glances, privacy isn't just an afterthought: it’s the foundation of our platform.

“All app connections and views within Glances are backed by responsible data practices. When our customers choose Glances, they choose a platform that respects privacy and protects sensitive information at every step.” — Chad Hutchins, Glances Co-founder and CTO

Glances data protection practices

1. We follow the highest data standards

Glances keeps data from all of your connected applications protected and in accordance with the highest standards, like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA). You can read more about privacy requests on our support site.

2. We meet the industry’s toughest security reviews

Each year, Glances successfully passes CASA Tier 2 and other rigorous security reviews as industry standards for mega platforms like Google and Intuit. Additionally, Glances is actively undergoing the testing and review process for SOC 2® compliance, the AICPA’s trusted cybersecurity standard that evaluates how a service organization manages and protects customer data.

3. We don't store your data

Glances shows your data securely without the need to save or store it. Data moves safely in real time (only when needed) from your connected apps to Glances, displaying helpful insights organized in a single view. All of this works anywhere online, from the Glances widget, glances.com, or in-app with platforms like monday.com.

4. We don't sync your data (but we can)

By default, Glances does not sync your data. However, if you use Actions and your workflow can further benefit from select pieces of data being synced across your app(s) of choice, we can make that happen with post-Action app updates. When this syncing feature is enabled, data is securely processed through our servers via a webhook, so it quickly queues up, processes, and moves on.

5. We encrypt, heavily

Only the minimally-required info to connect to your apps is needed, which is encrypted and safely stored. All Glances communications are done over SSL using RSA certificates with secure 2048-bit keys.

6. We specialize in data security

Our co-founders are developers and data security experts, having created and worked on software integrations for CRM systems and popular platforms for 20 years.

Your data, your choice

Glances keeps your data secure while also giving you the flexibility to control it. Whether it’s personal, company, or customer data, you choose what insights are viewable across apps, which teammates have safe access to view them, and what Actions can level-up your team’s unique workflow. Below are a few ways you can take charge of your data and customize how Glances works with you:

• Connect your stack of business apps – any platform with an API can work!
• Set company roles and permissions with personal and team-shared app connections
• Give teammates safe access to data insights without access to company accounts
• Choose from built-in Actions to perform time-saving tasks across apps
• Activate post-Action app updates to sync select pieces of data across apps
• Manage multiple company (or client) app accounts with our team select tool

All the convenience of integration without the hassle

Unlike traditional software integrations, Glances is backed by patented, no-code technology that does not store or unnecessarily sync your data from one app to another. We follow the highest standards in data protection and regulation (GDPR and CCPA), successfully meet industry security reviews (CASA Tier 2 and SOC 2®), and only the minimally-required information is needed to connect your apps. Empower you and your team to safely view real-time insights and perform Actions across apps without the costly commitment, implementation time, and ongoing maintenance of two-way data integrations.

Why care about Data Privacy Week?

Data Privacy Week drives global awareness about data privacy and data protection every January. While every professional has a role to play when it comes to data protection, this week encourages us all to take a moment to reflect on the importance of safeguarding both our personal data and customers’ data as a top priority. From using secure passwords to protecting confidential information, taking time to elevate data privacy methods can make all the difference when it comes working securely online and protecting your business.
