GDPR: What types of data are collected by Physitrack?
Physitrack is a platform designed from the ground up around privacy and security of both your own and your clients' data. All policies and engineering standards follow this principle. Further, Physitrack is not in the business of sharing data with third parties. Our revenue comes from subscriptions and enterprise features, plain and simple.
- Physitrack runs its applications and databases on Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS operates perhaps the most secure data centers in the world.
- Data is stored in a database that is hosted in the same data center ("availability zone") as the server on which you use Physitrack. For example, if you use us.physitrack.com, both the application and the database are in the US, and if you use nl.physitrack.com, both the application and the database are in the EU.
- The database is encrypted "at rest" (AES-256) as well as "in flight" (when being transferred between your browser/device and our application).
- Physitrack makes two types of database backups: a real-time backup and a backup that is made every 24 hours. These backups are stored in a different data center from the online database to avoid data loss in case of a catastrophe.
- Backups are encrypted.
The list below enumerates what type of data we store.
Note that Physitrack does not store any credit card information on our systems.
Payments are processed by Adyen, our payment processor.
