Archiving and Deletion Processes
- Archiving: Data that is archived remains securely stored and inaccessible for regular use but can be retrieved if legally required or necessary. Archiving is automated, and data is moved to a secure, encrypted storage location after the end of its retention period.
- Deletion: For data types like Video and Biometric Information, permanent deletion ensures sensitive information is not retained beyond its utility. Deleted data is irrecoverably removed from our systems to ensure privacy and compliance with specific legal requirements.
Data Protection Measures
To protect all data within BluSKY, we implement rigorous security measures:
- Encryption: All data, both at rest and in transit, is encrypted using advanced encryption standards to prevent unauthorized access.
- Access Controls: Data access is strictly controlled and monitored, with permissions assigned based on roles and responsibilities.
- Regular Audits: Continuous audits and compliance checks ensure adherence to our data protection policies and external regulations.
