At YLOODrive, we are committed to ensuring the security of our users’ information. We have implemented various security measures to safeguard user data and protect it from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. YLOODrive uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) to store customer data in Sydney, Australia. We take appropriate measures to ensure the security of your data while it is being stored in AWS, including using encryption, access controls, and regular security audits. By using YLOODrive, you agree to the storage of your data in AWS. For more information, visit https://aws.amazon.com/privacy/
● Data Storage: YLOODrive stores customer data securely in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Sydney Region. AWS is a reputable cloud service provider with robust security infrastructure and a proven track record in data protection.
● Authentication: We utilise AWS Passport.js for authentication, which is a widely-used, secure authentication middleware for Node.js applications. Passport.js ensures secure user authentication and maintains the confidentiality of user credentials.
● Encryption: All data transmitted between users and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard encryption protocols, such as SSL/TLS, to maintain data privacy and security.
● Access Control: We have implemented strict access control measures, allowing only authorised personnel with a legitimate need to access user data in order to provide our services. This minimises the risk of unauthorized access or data breaches.
● Regular Security Audits: YLOODrive conducts periodic security audits to assess the effectiveness of our security measures and identify potential vulnerabilities. This allows us to address any issues proactively and maintain a high level of security.
● Security Updates and Patches: We continuously monitor and apply the latest security updates and patches to our systems, ensuring that our infrastructure remains protected against known security threats.
By employing these security measures, YLOODrive is dedicated to protecting user information and maintaining the trust of our customers.
