Does HyperSoft collect other forms of information about its users?

In addition to the use of personal information to operate the site, HyperSoft also gathers anonymous information, which may be used by HyperSoft or shared with its advertisers. This is information which does not personally identify you, but which may be helpful for marketing purposes or for improving the services we offer. Generally, this information is collected through "traffic data" and may entail the use of "Cookies" "IP addresses" or other numeric codes used to identify a computer.

Is my personal information secure from others using the HyperSoft site?

Personal information collected by HyperSoft is stored in secure operating environments that are not available to the public.

What specific steps does HyperSoft take to ensure the security of personal data stored on your site?

• The physical location where the data servers are kept is fully secured under lock and key and with a sophisticated alarm system. The alarm system emails reports daily to a system administrator letting us know who armed or unarmed the alarms and at what time, and a log of these is kept for later reference.

• All traffic between web browsers and our Internet servers where confidential information may be passed are sent via using SSL v3 - TLS v1 encryption at either 40 or 128-bit strength, depending on the version of web browser being used. At no time is confidential personal or medical information send over the Internet in clear text.

• The Internet-connected servers used at HyperSoft are positioned behind firewalling software that only allows traffic that has been specifically designated as authorized. Any attempts to connect by unauthorized traffic is rejected and the attempt is logged. These logs are emailed daily to our system administrators for their scrutiny to determine any attack attempts.

• Any Internet-connected servers have been locked down as tightly as possible, with only necessary network services running on them and only the minimal amount of accounts needed with only the minimal amount of machine privileges necessary. Whenever any security issues are made public that may impact us, we immediately apply any security patches made available as soon as possible. In addition, we monitor several international security email lists daily to keep up with any emerging exploits being used against servers and take whatever action is necessary to harden our servers against such attacks. We take the security of the HyperSoft databases very seriously and will prosecute any attackers to the fullest extent of the law.

• Daily backups are performed on all the HyperSoft data and web servers and those backup tapes are taken off-site in case of catastrophic emergency at the HyperSoft data center.
