What the data processing process at EmailLabs looks like?

The processing of entrusted data (in the context of the GDPR) distinguishes:

  1. Data in transit: data is encrypted with SSL.

  1. Data at rest: we store only the e-mail addresses of e-mail recipients (e-mail logs in the panel). This data is not encrypted due to the computational overhead of processing such databases. However, in 2024 Quarter 1 there will be a functionality of data anonymization.

IS 2FA method available?

Yes, the panel has the ability to manage users and various access levels.

Does user panel has a managing access levels for different users?

Yes, the panel has the ability to manage users and various access levels.

Is there data anonymization available?

In March 2024 we implement the data anonymization option: as injected status will be processed into the database, a log with an anonymized TO address is saved.

When the final email status is processed (OK, harbounce, dropped, etc.), the status is saved to the database and the server logs are also anonymized in a similar way to the logs in the database.

Anonymization could involve, for example, leaving the first character and domain, e.g. instead of "john.walk@abcabc.pl" it would be "j***********@abcabc.pl". On the customer’s side, the log of such an email would be precisely identifiable by the message_id.

What are system backups look like?

System backups (for the purpose of possible loss of operational data, and system recovery) are encrypted with a number of encryption (including AES256) and compression algorithms, entirely on our side and transferred to our backup servers in CPD. All our CPDs are located ONLY within the EEA.
