To make that possible, we store, process, and transmit Your Content as well as information related to it.

Other users. Our Services display information like your name, profile picture, and email address to other users in places like your user profile and sharing notifications. You can also share Your Content with other users if you choose. When you register your RaeNotes account with an email address on a domain owned by your employer or organization, we may help collaborators and administrators find you and your team by making some of your basic information—like your name, team name, profile picture, and email address—visible to other users on the same domain. This helps you synch up with teams you can join and helps other users share files with you.

RaeNotes uses industry-standard encryption to protect your data in transit. All connections to RaeNotes are encrypted using SSL, and any attempt to connect over HTTP is redirected to HTTPS. All customer data (including call recordings and transcripts) is encrypted at rest and in transit.System passwords are encrypted using AWS KMS with restricted access to specific production systems. We use industry-standard PostgreSQL, Elastic Search data storage systems hosted at AWS.
We deploy automated technologies to detect abusive behavior and content that may harm our Services, you, or other users. No one at RaeNotes can view Your Content unless you expressly give us permission or it’s necessary to comply with our legal obligations.
Secure Infrastructure. Raenotes services are hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS maintains strict physical access policies that utilize sophisticated physical access control mechanisms. Environmental controls such as uninterruptible power and non-destructive fire suppression are integrated elements of all data centers. AWS uses multiple geographically distributed data centers as part of a comprehensive disaster recovery strategy, and uses the CIS Amazon Web Services Benchmarks (https://aws.amazon.com/quickstart/architecture/compliance-cis-benchmark/) as a guide for best practices. AWS provides DDOS services.
User Controls. You can access, amend, download, and delete your personal information by logging into your RaeNotes account and going to your account settings page. You have control over who sees Your Content. RaeNotes uses an access-control list (ACL) to specify which users are granted access to files, as well as what operations are allowed on given files. You can expressly give permissions to specific people or you can make your data public and available to anyone on the web who have the link (URL) to the file. You can also assign the level of access to the shared files. You can set the access permissions to either view (read only), comment (read and post comments), edit (read, write, comment), edit and share.

When you sign up for an account with us, we’ll retain information you store on our Services for as long as your account is in existence or as long as we need it to provide you the Services.
