Safety and privacy issues are paramount for every CRM tool.

The issue of data security and confidentiality is an extremely important part of CRM applications.

At Livespace, every aspect related to security is extremely important to us.

In this article, you will find:

Where is the data from Livespace CRM stored?

The Livespace CRM application and data are maintained in Amazon Web Services’ high-end server facilities in Ireland, near Dublin, within the EEA. At Livespace we take great care to ensure that data is maintained in compliance with RODO, and within the EEA.
Amazon Web Services is the world’s leading provider of hosting solutions.

How is information protected from being lost?

Each customer’s data is stored in Livespace CRM in independent databases. The data is continuously replicated and stored on several servers and backed up every 24 hours on independent disk space, outside the core infrastructure. In the case of damage or accidental deletion of data, it is possible to restore a backup copy of the database using a fixed backup copy (from a specified day) on request.

All communication between the user’s browser and the application server is encrypted.

The minimum frequency of backups is:

– data from the last 14 days – backup every 24 hours
– data from the last 90 days – backup every 7 days
– data from the last 365 days – backup every 30 days
– data older than 365 days – backup every 90 days

Does Livespace have a security by design policy in place?

With each modification in the application’s code, during at the analysis stage and testing, aspects related to security of the introduced changes are analyzed, which is in accordance with the principle of security by design.

The implementation of the security by design principle has its reflection in the security rules adopted by Livespace, which are consistent with best practices and market standards for applications of this type.

For example, each user’s password must consist of at least eight characters, including lowercase and uppercase letters, a number and a special character, and repeated attempts to enter it with an error will block access to the application for that user.

Part of the implementation of security by design is also the choice of appropriate server infrastructure. Livespace uses AWS servers whose functioning and technical solutions comply with the highest security standards. AWS solution is certified by ISO/IEC 27001:2013, 27017:2015, 27018:2019, ISO/IEC 9001:2015 i CSA STAR CCM v3.0.1. (https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/iso-certified/)

Does anyone have access to my data?

Information stored on the server is confidential, and it is not disclosed to any parties. Data entered into Livespace is never used for purposes other than providing the service, including performing backup and recovery (such as testing recovery backup data for validation and correction purposes), attempts to recreate errors and failures in the system reported by the customer, also statistical analysis to improve application functionality, developing its new functionalities and publishing examples of methods of use and the results of the statistical analysis. Employees of Livespace Ltd. have no direct access to customer's account and their access to databases on the server side is limited to selected technical staff only, to the extent necessary for the proper service provision.
