Information Security

Smartnotation uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of our systems.

In particular:

  • We encrypt our services using TLS;
  • We monitor our information collection, storage and processing practices to guard against unauthorized access to systems;
  • We restrict access to personal information to Smartnotation employees and contractors who need to know that information in order to process it for us, and who are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations and may be disciplined or terminated if they fail to meet these obligations.
  • Smartnotation account passwords are hashed. Our own staff can't even view them. If you lose your password, it can't be retrieved, it must be reset.
  • All our forms (from our website and mobile apps) pass data via TLS.
  • Logins via our website and API have brute-force protection and anti-robot protection.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect your information, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, however, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
