Security & Privacy Policies

Security and privacy go hand-in-hand. A company that provides strong security doesn’t protect you well if they share your information freely, and a company that respects your privacy can’t protect it without strong security. We work to provide strong security while moving and storing information you entrust to us, and show our respect to you by keeping that information private. Here, we will detail what information we store and what we do to protect it, as well as the limited sharing we do.

Security

Your information needs to be protected both in transit (moving across networks) and when at rest (stored).

To protect data moving between you and us or between our servers, we use 2048-bit encryption with DigiCert’s highest level Extended Validation (EV) certificate. This certificate is not only one of the strongest available for encryption, qualifying for it required us to complete DigiCert’s strict business authentication process.

When storing and processing data, we add additional encryption processes for sensitive information. Our backups add further encryption, and your information is never backed up to cloud services to minimize risks of compromise.

Data encryption is only part of the answer to protecting your information, though. The other critical part of information security is making sure the software that handles that data is protected from compromise. We have strict internal security policies and practices when developing our software. All code goes through a review process before being placed in use, access to code is strictly limited, all software patches are kept up-to-date and our website is scanned daily by two separate vulnerability scan services.

Privacy

Privacy is the other important piece of information security. We appreciate your trust, and will honor the trust you place in us by strictly limiting how we share your information. Please read our FAQs below for a detailed discussion.
