For non-EU customers, your data is hosted on in North California, USA (AWS region us-west-1).
For EU customers, your data is hosted in Ireland (AWS region eu-west-1).
We have taken full advantage of the extensive and rigorous security options available on AWS to give you confidence that the highest standards and best practices are maintained.
EU customer registration data processed by Ecanvasser may be transferred to the AWS us-west-1 region. Please note that this relates to user registration data only.

The web application itself is on a nightly scheduled backup.
Application up-time
Amazon Web Services guarantees us 99.9% uptime.
SSL & Encryption
Ecanvasser forces HTTPS for all services using TLS (SSL) to our application using 256-bit encryption. All data access is protected by a role-based access-control mechanism, which only lets customers view data for which they have permission.
Customers can’t view data from accounts other than their own.
Access Controls
Only authorised employees have access to our production infrastructure, and passwords are strictly regulated.
We limit access to customer data to a select few employees who need it to provide support and troubleshooting on our customers’ behalf.
Accessing data centre information as well as customer data is done solely on an as-needed basis, and only when approved by the customer (i.e. as part of a support request), or to provide support and maintenance.
Credit Card Security
We do not store any credit card information. We store a random identifier to associate a customer with our payment provider Stripe.com.
Stripe has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1.
This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry.

As per our retention policy for personal data processed in relation to the services provided, the data retention periods are:
For the duration of the contract (accepted subscription agreement) and for a period of thirty (30) days post termination
At any time, Customers (who are collectors and controllers of the personal data) can delete any personal data utilizing the delete function that is available within the Ecanvasser platform prior.
We also provide customers with a personal data anonymization tool that allows you to safely anonymize data collected while retaining the analytical results of interactions performed.
