Data Security

GSMOcean.com stores all website data within the European Union. All personal information and backups are encrypted. We follow accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. This includes firewalls, password protection, and other access and authentication controls. We use SSL technology to encrypt data during transmission through the public internet, and we also employ application-layer security features to further anonymize personal data.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. GSMOcean.com cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or store on the Service, and you do so at your own risk. If you believe your data has been compromised, please contact us immediately. If GSMOcean.com learns of a security systems breach, we will inform you and the authorities by applicable laws.

Retention of Personal Data

During the creation of a GSMOcean account, your email address, nickname, and password will only be retained if you respond within 1 hour to the confirmation email sent to the provided email address. If no response is received after 1 hour, your email address, nickname, and password will be permanently deleted from our systems.

We will retain your data for as long as we consider your GSMOcean account to be active. See “Your Rights” for a description of your right of erasure. In the case of our web server logs, any personal information will be deleted after 24 hours.
