Information Security Measures
We are committed to ensuring the security of your personal data. In order to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or other similar risks, we have established reasonable physical, electronic, and management procedures to protect the information we collect. In order to protect the security of your personal data, we have set out the following security procedures and technical and organizational measures:
Your personal data will be stored on secure servers and protected in controlled facilities.
All data stored in the backend will be categorized into different levels according to the importance and sensitivity of the data, for example, whether it contains personal data.
In the data centre, data clusters containing sensitive data are assembled in the network topology and placed in rooms with additional physical security protection.
The data exchange between the Energy Monitor Device and the server is encrypted by the Secure Socket Layer (SSL).
We regularly review our practices regarding the collection, storage, and processing of information, including physical security measures, in order to prevent unauthorized access to the system.
The system is only accessible to our employees and third-party service providers so that they can obtain the required information for processing data. They must abide by strict contractual confidentiality obligations. If they fail to fulfil these obligations, they may face punishment or dismissal.
All server clusters used for cloud platform data storage and processing are set up with access control.
Most data used for our products and/or services are stored in a storage system. By using the column-based access control mechanism, only our employees who have obtained access permission can access the data columns they are authorized to access.
Please note that in order to implement the above arrangements, We may use overseas facilities operated and controlled to process or back up your personal data. Therefore, we may transfer and store your personal data in our overseas facilities. But this does not change any commitments we make to you regarding the protection of your personal data in accordance with this privacy policy.
Information security is of great importance for us. We will take all practical measures to ensure the security of your personal data. Through the above protective measures, especially encrypted storage and transmission, your data is very safe. Certain details in the encrypted data can only be accessed by you.
