As a survey software provider it’s our job to keep our clients’ data safe. So far, we have earned the trust of 10,000+ users around the world, however, that doesn’t mean we can rest on our laurels. Our developers are working hard on new ways to keep your data locked all the time. Here’s a run down of our survey security policy.
Choose where your data is stored
CheckMarket’s security and privacy policy is among the strictest in the industry. In fact, we are one of the very few survey providers with multiple data centers around the world, meaning we can store your data wherever you want (US, Canada, Asia or EU). For example, as a result of recent privacy and security infringements many EU based companies prefer to have their data stored on European servers, that’s possible, you can choose.
Class A data centers
Regardless of the continent, all data is stored in Class A data centers with extensive physical security all of which are regularly audited. As an extra security protocol we were the very first survey tool to include Two Step Verification, drastically reducing the chances of someone breaking into a user’s account.
Backups on multiple drives
Rest assured, data loss is not an option with CheckMarket. Why? Because all data is synchronized between our data centers in real-time, with multiple copies stored on multiple machines on multiple hard drives.
HTTPS and SSL
Furthermore, HTTPS is turned on by default for all surveys and users guaranteeing that the collected data is always safe and protected. SSL encryption, also included by default, assures participant privacy and information integrity.
Use your own domain
We also offer the option to use your own domain or sub domain name to host your survey projects. This is not just a security measure; using your own domain will also increase the credibility of your survey, which in turn can impact the response rate.
