How does Leanscout ensure security and confidentiality?
Leanscout adheres to the most recognized international security standards, and we are very concerned with safeguarding all customer information. All data sent via Leancout.com is encrypted using 256-bit secure socket layer technology (SSL), and account passwords are hashed and salted using Bcrypt. We protect customer files with centralized security controls and administration of access rights by using Box for file storage and transfer. Box is an ISO 27001, SAS70 Type II, and Safe Harbor certified provider of online file storage and transfer services. All Leanscout personnel are background checked, and all our freelancers sign NDAs and go through confidentiality training. Please see our Privacy Policy for further information.

Can I get an invoice rather than paying with credit card or PayPal?
We currently only provide the option of invoicing via email to our enterprise customers. All other customers need to add their credit card or PayPal details to their Leanscout.com account before receiving any project files.
