Security

You probably heard about the PRISM surveillance system and the security and privacy issues raised by hosting data on American cloud services. ContactOffice protects your data against such systems. We value your data and privacy.

Hosting your data on our servers, located in Europe and managed by a European company protects them from the American government and intelligence agencies ("Patriot Act", PRISM).
Your data and their back-ups are hosted exclusively on European soil. We therefore comply with the European and Belgian legislation and regulations, among others these regarding data protection. You have a right to consult, rectify and delete your data (the right to be forgotten). If you ask for the deletion of your account, all your data will be completely deleted from our application.
We entirely control our servers: we wrote the software and no subcontractor can access our systems. The team members who can access the system have signed a confidentiality agreement.
In case of an inquiry we require an official injunction signed by a judge to reveal any data.
In addition your data are "anonymized" and spread throughout our servers: in case of intrusion, they cannot be located.
Since more than 20 years, our mission is hosting and protecting your data. Our business model relies on paid subscriptions and customized versions. Therefore, we don't analyze data to create marketing profiles nor do we monetize users through advertising.

Access to your secure collaboration solution is protected by personal username and password.
After idling for some time, the secure collaboration solution automatically closes. You can set the number of minutes of idle time.
Our secure collaboration solution uses temporary 256-bit cookies to control and manage access; they are automatically deleted when session ends.
All data exchanged between our servers and your computer are encrypted with TLS/SSL.
Two factor authentication (2FA)
Last connection date

Each data (a contact, an event, a document, etc.) has its own access rights (view, add, delete).
By default, all data in your private environment may be accessed only by yourself.
All data in groups may be accessed only by group members who have access rights.

If ever you would like to terminate the usage of our service, you will be able to export all your data in standard formats.
