Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

The Company takes appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of Personal Information. These include, but are not limited to, internal reviews of: (a) the Company’s data collection; (b) storage and processing practices; (c) electronic security measures; and (d) physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where the Company stores Personal Information.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be secure. As a result, while we are committed to protecting your Personal Information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us.

Protecting the safety of children when they use the Internet is very important to us. The preproduct.io Properties should only be accessed by individuals of Minimum Age. “Minimum Age” may mean different ages in different countries, depending on where the individual accesses the services. For reference, “Minimum Age” shall mean (a) 14 years old for the United States, Canada, Germany, Spain, Australia, and South Korea; and (b) 13 years old for all other countries. However, if applicable law requires that you must be older than such ages in order for the Company to lawfully provide the preproduct.io Properties to you (including the collection, storage, and use of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy), and then the Minimum Age would be such older age. The preproduct.io Properties are not designed nor intended for use by children or anyone else under the age of 13.

Privacy/Data FAQs

 

-Is it possible to specify used protocols for Data encryption ( at rest and in transit) ?

  • Data going from the store’s product pages to PreProducts servers will be over HTTPS.

All requests are automatically redirected from HTTP to HTTPS by our server partner (www.render.com).

  • All database backups are encrypted.
  • PreProduct does not store or interact with any customer credit card or billing data. We capture and store customer names, email addresses and pre-order details (i.e. X quantity of product A). Billing/credit card data is processed through Shopify, not PreProduct.

 

-For how long do you store personal data collected from our website ?

  • PreProduct has a ‘soft delete’ policy, meaning by default, actions that are taken from within the app, do not destroy data records. Unless requested, we store customer data indefinitely. That said, if you would ever like to have data removed permanently from our databases, we are more than happy to do so.

 

-How do you secure access to Personal Data and is this access logged ?

Personal data is accessed via https requests to the PreProduct web application. All requests with responses containing customer email addresses are behind Shopify’s wall of security. Meaning only the authorised store owner can see it.

Direct access to the database is secured through our server partner (www.render.com) with two-factor authentication implemented.

We can request access logs from this server partner at any time.

 

-Is our Data Separated from other clients Data ?

One client’s data is not combined with another’s. Data can be isolated at the store, product listing or individual customer level. It can be retrieved and destroyed easily and quickly.

 

-Have you conducted a recent intrusion test on the solution ?

No we haven’t. However, the PreProduct application uses the latest stable version of the web application framework; Ruby on Rails. Amongst others, the large internet companies; Shopify, Github and AirBnB all use Ruby on Rails. This means that PreProduct benefits from all of the security updates which are constantly being released for Ruby on Rails and its dependencies.

 

-Are there regular vulnerability scans performed?

The software repository company that PreProduct’s code is hosted on (Github), scans PreProduct’s dependencies for vulnerabilities and issues automatic recommended updates.

 

-Is there a security Incident procedure in case of a security attack ?

Yes. Part of this procedure will be complying to the GDPR obligations as a ‘data processor’ of notifying the relevant controllers (your company in this case) without any delay.
