Security

Last updated: January 2026

Your data security matters to us. This page explains in plain language how we protect our service and your information.

Where Is Your Data?

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฎ

In Finland, Tuusula

All our services and your data are located at Hetzner Data Center Park Helsinki in Tuusula. Your data never leaves the EU/EEA.

Hetzner Data Center Park Helsinki
Huurrekuja 10, 04360 Tuusula

How Do We Protect Your Data?

Encryption

  • โœ“In transit: All connections are encrypted (TLS 1.3). You can see this from the lock icon in your browser.
  • โœ“At rest: Server disks are encrypted. Physical theft of a hard drive won't expose your data.
  • โœ“Passwords: Your passwords are stored hashed (bcrypt) โ€“ we can't read them ourselves.

Access Control

  • โœ“Only a few people have access to production servers
  • โœ“Administrative access requires two-factor authentication (2FA)
  • โœ“Access is granted on a least-privilege basis โ€“ access only to what's needed

Monitoring & Logging

  • โœ“We monitor service status 24/7 with automated checks
  • โœ“We log important events (logins, changes, errors)
  • โœ“We receive automatic alerts for anomalies

Updates & Maintenance

  • โœ“Security updates are installed promptly
  • โœ“We use automated vulnerability scanning
  • โœ“Critical updates are applied within 24 hours of release

Backups

Backup coverage depends on your service tier:

Free Tier

No backups included. You're responsible for backing up your own data.

Business Tier (Backup Add-on)

  • Frequency: Daily
  • Retention: 14 days
  • Restore time: Typically 1-4 hours
  • Location: Separate location in Finland

Note: Backups include database and file data. Restoration is done via support request.

What If Something Goes Wrong?
