How secure is Datadvance files exchange service?

All files are transferred across the network securely encrypted.

The passphrase is not stored on Datadvance files exchange service, and cannot be recovered if lost. No one can access the files without it.

All files uploaded and temporarily stored on Datadvance files exchange service are held on equipment owned and operated at LLC's own Data Centre.

All data is subject to the Data Protection regulations and laws of LLC and the country.

Datadvance files exchange service is in no way a "cloud" service. Everything is stored (even temporarily) on equipment directly owned by LLC, and managed by its own IT staff.

All access to data is very tightly and strictly controlled by LLC. All accesses to data on Datadvance files exchange service are logged and can be easily checked if you are ever concerned that a 3rd party might have gained access to your data.

Furthermore, uploaded data is only held on Datadvance files exchange service for a maximum of 30 days, after which time it is automatically deleted. There is no "undelete" facility available at all. No backups are taken of the uploaded data (it's only a transitory stopping point), so no uploaded data ever moves off Datadvance files exchange service itself onto other equipment or media such as backup tapes. After an uploaded file has been deleted, there is no way of recovering the file.

Retrieval of a drop-off by a recipient can only be done with both the drop-off's Claim ID and Passcode.
When dropping off files, you can choose not to send either or both of these to the recipient automatically: you would then need to send that information by hand yourself.
