PART V: SECURITY AND RETENTION
Security
Ericom maintains (and also requires its service providers to maintain) reasonable and appropriate organizational and technical measures to protect the security and confidentiality of any Personal Data we process. For example, Ericom employs physical access controls, encryption, Internet firewalls, intrusion detection and network monitoring depending on the nature of the information and the scope of processing. Ericom staff who may have access to Personal Data are required to keep that information confidential. However, no security procedures or protocols are ever guaranteed to be 100% secure and so we encourage you to take care when disclosing Personal Data online.
Please note that no service is completely secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, data loss or a data breach will never occur.
Security measures you can take: Cloud services follow a shared responsibility model where the Cloud Service Provider is responsible for the security of the service, while the Customer is responsible for the security of their use of the service. There are best practices that you can do to secure your account, such as enabling two-factor authentication for your account. Additionally, you must keep your account secure with a confidential password and not disclose them publicly or to unauthorized individuals — this includes accidentally distributing them in source code or shared repositories. Please let us know right away if you think your password or account was compromised or misused.
Similarly, if you provision an API Key, you should keep your secret, well… secret. You should store your API Key, Account SID, and secret in a secure location.

This Privacy Statement applies to Personal Data collected and/or used by Ericom while acting in the capacity of a Data Controller, as defined in the European Union’s (EU) General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679, the “EU GDPR” or, where applicable, the “United Kingdom (UK) GDPR” (as it forms part of the law of England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland by virtue of section 3 of the UK European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018), as amended and supplemented from time to time (together, herein referred to as the “GDPR”):
Data Controller and Data Processor
Certain data protection laws, including the GDPR, differentiate between “controllers” and “processors” of Personal Data. A Data Controller decides why and how to process personal information. A Data Processor does not make decisions about Personal Data and only processes personal information on behalf of a controller based on the controller’s instructions.
Ericom is the Data Controller and responsible for the Personal Data it collects and processes in the role of the Data Controller. For instance, Ericom is the Data Controller for its marketing data, Customer contact information, and its employee and contractor data. Ericom may also be a Controller when developing products and new features and providing customer support and fraud prevention.

Our Customers are the Data Controllers for any Personal Data related to them and the parties they allow to use our Services.
Generally, Ericom is the Data Processor for the Services it performs for its Customers. When acting as a Data Processor, we only process Personal Data at the instruction of our Customers.
If you are an End User of an Ericom Customer, this Privacy Notice does not apply to the services that our Customers provide to their End Users. Our Customers have their own policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of the personal information of their End Users. If you are an End User of one of our Customers and want to learn about how that Customer handles your personal information, we encourage you to read the Customer’s privacy policy. Only the Customer can assist you with requests for access or deletion.

Ericom maintains contracts with these third parties restricting their access, use, and disclosure of personal information in compliance with our Data Privacy obligations, and Ericom may be liable if we fail to meet those obligations and we are responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
