Want to know more about our privacy measures? •We comply with all the applicable laws and regulations regarding data protection, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). These laws and regulations set the standards and requirements for how we collect, process, store, and transfer our clients’ data. They also grant our clients certain rights and choices regarding their data, such as the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to the use of their data. We respect and uphold these rights and choices and we inform our clients about them in our privacy policy. •We use encryption, authentication, authorization, and auditing techniques to safeguard our clients’ data in transit and at rest. Encryption means that we use mathematical algorithms to transform our clients’ data into unreadable codes that can only be decrypted by authorized parties. Authentication means that we verify the identity of anyone who tries to access our clients’ data using passwords, tokens, biometrics, or other methods. Authorization means that we grant or deny access to our clients’ data based on predefined roles and permissions. Auditing means that we record and monitor all the activities and events related to our clients’ data and report any anomalies or incidents. •We use firewalls, antivirus, anti-malware, and other security software and hardware to prevent and detect any cyberattacks or breaches. Firewalls are devices or programs that block unauthorized or malicious traffic from entering or leaving our network. Antivirus and anti-malware are programs that scan and remove any viruses, worms, trojans, ransomware, spyware, or other malicious software from our systems. Other security software and hardware include VPNs, SSL certificates, IDS/IPS, DDoS protection, and more. These tools help us protect our clients’ data from hackers, cybercriminals, or other threats. •We use cloud-based services and platforms that have high standards of security and reliability, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. These services and platforms provide us with scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions for storing, processing, analyzing, and delivering our clients’ data. They also offer various features and benefits for data privacy and security, such as encryption at rest and in transit, multi-factor authentication, role-based access control, security audits, compliance certifications, backup and recovery, and more. •We conduct regular backups and disaster recovery plans to ensure the availability and resilience of our clients’ data. Backups mean that we create and store copies of our clients’ data in different locations or media to prevent data loss or corruption. Disaster recovery plans mean that we prepare and test scenarios and procedures to restore our clients’ data and operations in case of a disaster, such as a natural calamity, a power outage, a system failure, or a cyberattack. •We train our staff and contractors on data privacy and security best practices and policies and we monitor their compliance.
