Security & LookStat
Posted on October 28th, 2008 in Security | No Comments »
We take the security of our users’ data very seriously and work hard to protect it from unauthorized use. Security isn’t just an issue for our users, it’s one that matters a great deal to us as well. We use LookStat for monitoring our own portfolio performance.
From a technical standpoint, we take the following precautions with to ensure the safety of your data:
- We encrypt every single page on our site
- We encrypt everything we store in our database at all times
- You are the only person with access to your LookStat password. If you lose it, we have to reset it
- We house all our servers in secure datacenters and protect them with multiple security measures like firewalls and intrusion detection systems
- We make sure that all employees, contractors and officers sign confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements so they are accountable for any breach and misuse of data
We’ve studied sites like Mint & Yodlee that access banking and credit card data for individuals and have adopted similar security practices. No digital mechanisms are ever 100% secure, but we’re very confident that the systems we have in place are at least as secure (if not more so) than desktop applications & widgets that manage login data and sites on the web today.
Our goal with LookStat is to provide a secure service to photographers and illustrators and to benefit from the value we deliver to our customers. We know that trust is important and we intend to be completely transparent about who we are, where we are based and what our intentions are. If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know and we will respond to them as quickly as possible.
