This is the start of our GDPR Privicy Policy.
We know we have a some way to go but it will hopefully answer some of the questions we are receiving from our customers.

- All of our data is hosted on Google Compute Engine(GCE) servers located in Belgium

- All sites on the server have HTTPS only access
- All passwords are encrypted

- All requests to the database are subject to multiple security level checks
- Our web portal is subject to weekly security checks by a third party
