7.3 CompactSaaS Analytics Data Location

CompactSaaS Analytics processes anonymized data in their cloud infrastructure. Since all data is anonymized and contains no personal information, transfer restrictions do not apply.

8. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data:

8.1 Technical Measures

  • Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS 1.2 or higher.
  • Encryption at Rest: Data stored in AWS services (S3, DynamoDB) is encrypted using AWS-managed encryption keys.
  • Access Controls: Strict access controls limit who can access production systems and data.
  • Security Monitoring: CloudWatch and CloudTrail monitor for security events and unauthorized access attempts.
  • Regular Updates: We keep all systems and dependencies up to date with security patches.

8.2 Organizational Measures

  • Data Minimization: We collect only the minimum data necessary to provide our service.
  • Privacy by Design: Privacy considerations are built into our architecture from the ground up.
  • Incident Response: We have procedures in place to detect, respond to, and report data breaches (see Section 8.3).
  • Vendor Management: We carefully select third-party services that respect user privacy.

8.3 Data Breach Notification

In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms:

  • We will notify the relevant authorities promptly.
  • If the breach poses a high risk, we will notify affected individuals without undue delay.
  • We maintain records of all data breaches including facts, effects, and remedial actions taken.

Note: Given our minimal data collection and anonymization practices, the risk of a meaningful data breach affecting individuals is extremely low.

9. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed at children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at will@123cloud.st. We will promptly delete such information from our systems.

We do not use age verification mechanisms because:

  • Our service is not targeted at children
  • We do not collect personal data that would require age verification
  • Age verification itself would require collecting more personal data

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors.

When we make significant changes, we will:

  • Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
  • Increment the version number
  • Display a notice on our website for 30 days
  • For material changes affecting your rights, we may use additional notification methods
