How safe is my data?

I've received a number of emails from users who have expressed concerns on the security of their data.

CraftMemo is currently hosted on a dedicated server with MaximumASP. They are a reputable hosting company used by many large corporations.

Here are some of their security features :

Disaster Protection
  • Fully managed state-of-the-art fire suppression system
  • Managing company is ISO-9001 certified
  • Fully isolated 2,500 SQ FT fire suppression zones
  • The latest fire suppression technology using FE-25
Physical Security
  • Biometric and passcode required to pass through all security zones
  • All access points are video recorded and archived for one year
  • Security glass, reinforced door frames, walls and ceilings at all entry points

Personally i would rather have my important data saved on the server than on my personal computer because a personal computer is less protected and more open to virus / hacks / spyware / hard disk crash etc.

On top of this, the database is backup twice a week and all uploaded images every week.
