How we store device data:

The device data is securely stored in Firebase. We store the data on secure Google cloud services located in the United States. Firebase is a part of Google. Google is an organization committed to privacy and has stated that the model clauses relating to transfer of data between the EU and United States are fully compliant with the GDPR. We urge you to read their statements and policies in full.

We have implemented a concept of security by design and constantly apply rigid data protection measures to secure data.

We take at least the following measures:

1. The data base is not accessible through the app or website, only through secure API/security services
2. The app can access the API services only using an encrypted token (key).
3. The API is limited to only functions that are related to the TEST CREDIT CODE.
4. We encrypt our databases.
5. We encrypt our passwords.
6. We implemented an Audit trail (log files), so that we can investigate any issues.
7. We conduct regular vulnerability testing as part of our software validation.
8. We maintain a risk management policy, regularly assess, and address risks related to privacy and security
9. We use an encrypted HTTPS protocol to access the API services.

Even though we follow industry best practices and make great efforts to protect data, no transmission of data over the internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. It may be possible for third parties not under our control to intercept or access transmissions unlawfully. If you believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure or have any reason to believe that a data breach has occurred, please contact us urgently.
You are not required to pay any charge if you make a request. Please contact our DPO with any data-related issues including any of the requests detailed above.
