How your data is processed
How SimpleBackups takes care of your data
Your account data
We take security very seriously due to the nature of what we do and encrypt all your sensitive information using industry-tested standards.
We even inform you about which fields are encrypted in our own database when you create a server, a backup, or a storage.
These encrypted fields are only decrypted on-the-fly at runtime when SimpleBackups takes a backup for you.
Rest-assured
We do not log sensitive data anywhere else; all data are anonymised.
Here is a list of other things we do to secure your data:
- Your backups run on your own server, not ours, not a third-party. With the exception of Serverless backups which run on our infrastructure.
- Backup archives are directly and securely sent to your remote storage form your own server, not ours, not a third-party.
- Your temporary backup files stay on your own server.
- Our backup scripts do not store any sensitive data on your server (no temporary backup scripts with credentials are ever created on your server and so on).
