Your Data, Protected

Last Updated April 9th, 2024 • By sCloud Team

Introduction to sCloud Data Protection

At sCloud, data protection isn't just a feature; it's our foundational commitment. We employ multiple robust procedures to ensure the invincibility and integrity of your stored information.

sCloud's data protection strategy requires the highest level of security. We implement multi-encryption layers, providing robust, multi-faceted security for all your files and personal data. Critically, we want to assure you that no data whatsoever is shared with any third party. Your privacy is paramount, and your information stays exclusively with you, on our secure infrastructure.

How We Protect Your Data

Our commitment to data protection is woven into every aspect of sCloud. Here's a closer look at the key measures we employ:

  • Advanced Encryption: All your files are encrypted both at rest on our servers and in transit using industry-leading protocols like AES-256. This means your data is unreadable to anyone without your unique decryption key, even if unauthorized access were to occur.
  • Strict Access Controls: We implement stringent internal access controls to ensure that only authorized personnel can access system components, and never your personal data without explicit, auditable reasons.
  • Regular Security Audits: Our systems undergo continuous monitoring and regular security audits by independent experts to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
  • Data Minimization: We only collect and retain the data absolutely necessary to provide our services, minimizing your digital footprint on our platforms.
  • Anonymization & Pseudonymization: Where possible and practical, we use data anonymization and pseudonymization techniques to further protect your identity.
  • Incident Response Plan: In the unlikely event of a data breach, we have a comprehensive incident response plan in place to swiftly address the situation, notify affected users, and minimize any potential impact.

GDPR Compliant & Your Rights

sCloud is fully GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) compliant. This means we adhere to the strictest global standards for data privacy and protection, ensuring your rights are always respected.

  • Right to Access: You have the right to request access to your personal data that we hold.

Security in the sCloud Public API (Upcoming)

We are diligently working on releasing an official sCloud Public API. We understand that extending our services requires the same level of trust and security our users expect. Therefore, the API will be designed with robust security measures from the ground up, including secure authentication protocols, data encryption for all API calls, and strict access management.

You can find more detailed information and updates about the sCloud API on our dedicated API documentation page as it becomes available.
