INFORMATION SECURITY AND STORAGE

 

The mandatory requirement of Collectory’s solutions is to provide a highly reliable platform with maximum continuity of operation, high IT security and protection from cyber attacks.

The most advanced practices and technologies are adopted in any Collectory’s technology. Each software module has been developed according to the dictates of the OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) guidelines, currently the most advanced in the world in terms of IT security.

The application will be protected by a token-based authentication and profiling system.

Passwords are encrypted using the most advanced algorithms and will not be recoverable even if the database on which they are saved is infringed

This ensures that even in the event of unauthorized access to the system, a malicious third party cannot have access to the users' privileged information or even their access credentials.

This very high level of security is the standard used by the largest banking groups and fully complies with the regulations in force on the protection of personal data (GDPR, FTC - Privacy and Data Security USA).

 

We protect your information using physical, technical, and administrative security measures to reduce the risks of loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, and alteration. Please be aware, though, that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. You remain responsible for protecting your username and password and for the security of information you transmit to us over the Internet.

 

We will keep your personal information for as long as we have a relationship with you. Once our relationship with you has come to an end, we will retain your personal information for a period of time that enables us to:

 

– Maintain business records for analysis and/or audit purposes.

 

– Comply with record retention requirements under the law or other relevant legal or regulatory requirements.

 

– Defend or bring any existing or potential legal claims.

 

– Deal with any complaints regarding the services.

 

– Preserve historical records of transactions and property.

 

We will delete your personal information when it is no longer required for these purposes.
