Notice to End Users

Many of our Services are intended for use by organizations. Where the Services are made available to You through an organization (e.g., your employer), that organization is the administrator of the Services and acts as a data controller of your Personal Data, while Herocoders process it on their behalf as a data processor. If this is the case, please direct your data privacy questions to your administrator, as your use of the Services is subject to that organizationā€™s policies.

Administrators are able to:

  • restrict your access to the Services and therefore restrict your ability to edit, modify or delete your Personal Data; and
  • access, modify and remove the information about You.

Even if the Services are not currently administered or made available to You by an organization, if You use an email address provided by an organization (such as your work email address) to access the Services, then the owner of the domain associated with your email address (e.g. your employer) may assert administrative control over your account and your use of the Services at a later date.

If You do not want an administrator to be able to assert control over your account and your use of the Services, please use your personal email address to register for or access the Services.

Security Statement

Last updated: 15 January 2021

Introduction

This document covers security aspects of apps created by HeroCoders for Atlassian Cloud products which are available now or in the future.

It is important to understand that Atlassian Cloud apps are separate web services which are hosted by their vendors. This is a consequence of Atlassian Cloud products architecture. It means that the service and its data are maintained by the vendors.

Please visit our Privacy Policy document to understand what data is transferred and stored on our servers.

Issue Checklist

Data storage

  • We host all data provided by customers on mongoDB (N. Virginia us-east-1 AWS region).
  • Our apps (running services) use the Heroku platform by Salesforce.
  • All data transmission is encrypted with Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.2+) technology.
  • Data are encrypted both in-transit and at-rest.

Backups

  • Data backups are created on a daily and weekly basis.
  • Daily data backups are available for eight subsequent days.
  • Weekly data backups are triggered on Saturday and stored for eight subsequent weeks.

We use the Atlassian Connect framework created and maintained by Atlassian to integrate our apps with Atlassian Cloud products. This provides an additional layer of security and separates our apps from sensitive data stored on the Atlassian side (such as passwords and payment details).

Overall, we employ all commercially reasonable safeguards (physical, managerial and technical) to preserve the integrity and security of your data, once it is received and stored.

No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot ensure or warrant the absolute security of any information you transmit to us or store with our apps.

If we change our Security Statement, we will post the amendments on this page to keep you up-to-date on what information has changed. Adjustments to this Security Statement are effective from the date they are posted on this page.
