Security & Privacy Policy
Your data's security is our highest priority.
Purpose and Scope
SidLabs Online LLP ("SidLabs") is committed to maintaining the highest standards of information security to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all data entrusted to us. This Security Policy applies to all staff, contractors, partners, applications, and services associated with SidLabs globally.
Our policies align with globally recognised security frameworks, including:
ISO/IEC 27001
Information Security Management
GDPR
General Data Protection Regulation (EU)
HIPAA
Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act
CCPA
California Consumer Privacy Act
OWASP
Web Application Security Standards
Data Collection and Use
SidLabs minimises data collection to only what is strictly necessary for delivering agreed services, improving product performance, and meeting our legal and contractual obligations. We do not sell or rent personal data to third parties.
Data Security Controls
Encryption
- All data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.2+.
- All data at rest is encrypted using industry-standard AES-256.
- Encryption keys are managed in a secure Key Management System (KMS).
Access Control
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP) are enforced across all systems.
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is mandatory for all administrative access.
Data Confidentiality & Privacy
We process personal data in compliance with GDPR Article 5 principles (lawfulness, fairness, transparency, etc.). For projects involving sensitive data, we implement HIPAA-compliant safeguards and sign client-specific Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) before project initiation.
Data Retention & Deletion
Personal data is retained only as long as necessary. We use secure deletion methods (e.g., NIST SP 800-88) for data disposal when the retention period expires.
Incident Response Plan
In the event of a security incident, our plan ensures rapid detection, containment, investigation, and remediation. If required by law (e.g., GDPR Art. 33), affected clients and regulators will be notified within 72 hours of breach discovery.
Third-Party & Vendor Security
All third-party vendors undergo rigorous security due diligence before engagement. Contracts include strict data protection clauses, and vendor access to our systems is monitored, logged, and time-limited.
Application Security
We enforce a secure software development lifecycle (SDLC), including mandatory code reviews. Critical vulnerabilities (CVSS score ≥ 7.0) are remediated within 72 hours. Data shared via our applications is anonymised unless user identification is contractually required.
Your Rights as a User
You have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data. You may also object to certain types of processing. To exercise these rights, please contact our privacy team.
Compliance & Audits
SidLabs conducts annual internal security audits. Evidence of compliance and results from third-party audits can be made available to clients under a Non-Disclosure Agreement.
Disclaimer & Limitation of Liability
While SidLabs applies industry-leading security measures, no system is entirely immune from risk. SidLabs is not liable for breaches caused by client negligence, third-party misuse, or incidents arising from client-side integrations beyond our control.
