Introduction
Your files are more secure when stored in your Polarbackup account compared to your computer. Within your account, other users cannot access your files, and likewise, you cannot access theirs.
Polarbackup strictly prohibits its employees from viewing the content of files stored in your account. Moreover, we implement various physical and electronic security measures to safeguard user information against unauthorized access. It is important to note that a Polarbackup employee will never request your account password.
Security Measures
Polarbackup uses modern encryption methods to both transfer and store your data.
- Files are encrypted before leaving your machine using 256-AES. You can specify your own encryption password.
- They are transferred over an SSL-encrypted layer.
- The website and desktop application have been hardened against attacks from hackers.
- Shared files are decrypted on the machine of the recipient.
- The Amazon S3 storage is also encrypted using Server Side Encryption (SSE). For more information, check Amazon’s security overview: https://aws.amazon.com/security/.
