Provision of services under Support Contracts

Provisions of this section describe how we provide our services under Support Contracts.

  2. Your Support Contract will always relate to only one, specific type of our Software that you bought it for. We will not provide our services under Support Contracts for Software which falls outside of the scope of your Support Contract.
  3. Although we do our best to resolve the issues that you report to us, we do not guarantee that we will be able to help you in each and every case. Particularly, we do not guarantee that services provided under a Support Contract will always satisfy your requirements or expectations or that in result of our services our Software will be free of operational errors and irregularities, or that our services will lead to the elimination of all such errors and irregularities.
  4. We provide our services under Support Contracts through email (“Email Support”) and through means of real-time communications such as telephone or an online session (“Live Support”). To make use of Email Support, you should contact us using this contact form.

We will choose these tools and methods based on the type of the issue that you report to us. You cannot demand that we implement other methods or tools to provide our services under Support Contract to you.
  7. Once you decide to contact us with your issue, we will register your question or problem and open a ticket (“Ticket”). We do not impose any limits on the number of tickets allocated to you, therefore if you contact us with another issue, usually, a new ticket will be created.

We may reopen your ticket in the future if it becomes necessary to undertake further actions relating to your question or problem.
  9. If you decide to share your system or software logs with us or conduct a Live Support session, it is your duty to remove or mask all personal data which may be included in such logs or may be visible to us during a Live Support session. In case it is impossible to do so, you should make sure that people whose personal data might be contained in these logs or may be visible during a Life Support session are properly informed about the disclosure of their data. You can find more information about how we use logs and how we conduct Live Sessions in Privacy Policy.
  10. We will make every effort (but we do not guarantee) to contact you on the next business day following the day on which you reported your issue to us at the latest. This does not mean that we will be able to resolve your issue within that time.

  1. General organizational measures
    1. Data Security Officer and Compliance Program. We have appointed at least one Data Security Officer who is responsible for coordinating, monitoring and improving our security and data privacy compliance program (“Compliance Program”). Compliance Program defines clear roles and responsibilities of our personnel. Data Security Officer is responsible for coordinating, monitoring and improving the Compliance Program;
    2. External Audits. Starting from June 2018, once every year we will undergo a data security audit with regard to the way we process and secure Customer Data. These audits will be conducted by external auditors.
    3. Confidentiality. Our entire personnel are subject to confidentiality obligations and may only access personal data subject to a prior, written authorization issued by CodeTwo.
  1. Training and awareness
    1. Personnel Training. We conduct regular training sessions for our personnel on data protection rules and personnel roles within our Compliance Program. We also inform our personnel about possible consequences of non-compliance. These training sessions are conducted using anonymized data.
  1. Physical and Environmental Security
    1. Physical Access to Datacenters. Customer Data is processed within Microsoft Azure datacenters. Access to these datacenters is restricted only to identified Microsoft staff members. Our personnel may not physically access these centers.
    2. Physical Access to our Facilities. Only identified and authorized members of our personnel may access our facilities. Unauthorized personnel may not access these facilities.
    3. Monitoring of Facilities. Our facilities are constantly monitored by us and external security service to prevent unauthorized access. Visitors may only access a designated space of our facilities where no data is processed.
    4. Protection from Disruptions. We use a variety of industry-accepted solutions to protect against loss of data due to power supply failure, fire, natural disaster or line interference.
    5. Component Disposal. We use industry accepted solutions to delete Customer Data when it is no longer needed.
  1. Access Control
    1. Access Authorization. We maintain a record of personnel authorized to access our facilities and information systems. We have implemented a system of controls to make sure that no one can stop working for our organization without having their authentication credentials deactivated and all access rights revoked. Additionally, we conduct regular (at least once every 6 months) audits to make sure that authentication credentials that have not been used are deactivated. De-activated or expired identifiers are not granted to other or new members of our personnel. We maintain industry standard procedures to deactivate passwords that have been corrupted or inadvertently disclosed.
    2. Limitation of Privileges. Only a small, selected group of personnel may grant, alter or cancel access privileges to our facilities and information systems. The scope of access rights granted to our personnel is limited strictly to assets necessary to perform their functions.
    3. Authentication of Users. We use industry accepted solutions, such as multifactor authentication, to identify and authenticate users who access our IT systems. Passwords are renewed regularly and must comply with minimum requirements imposed by our security policies. We use various best practices designed to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of passwords when they are assigned, distributed and stored.
    4. Monitoring. We monitor our information systems against all attempts of unauthorized access and use of expired or invalid credentials.
  1. Asset and Operations Management
    1. Endpoint Protection. All computing endpoints are encrypted and protected against malware.
    2. Backup Copies. We make regular copies of CodeTwo Email Signatures for Office 365 settings and configuration details and Customer Data (Azure Active Directory user attributes and group memberships of people who have accounts in your Office 365 tenant, as described in point 62 (a) of these Terms. We do not create backup copies of Customer Emails.
    3. Access to Backups. All backups are automatically created by Microsoft Azure and stored on Azure at a geolocation that you chose when associating your Office 365 tenant with CodeTwo Email Signatures for Office 365. We have processes in place which ensure that access to backup copies is restricted to the necessary minimum, that backups may not be used outside of Microsoft Azure’s environment and that no data can be restored without the authorization of senior personnel members.
    4. Integrity and Confidentiality. Our personnel have to disable all sessions when leaving our facilities or leaving computers unattended. Only a small, selected group of our personnel who require remote access due to the character of their duties may carry mobile devices and use them outside of our premises. All mobile devices are password protected and have encrypted storage.
    5. Printing and Portable Data Carriers. We have procedures in place which guarantee that no data can be printed or copied to portable data carriers without our prior authorization. Members of our personnel are prohibited from using unauthorized portable data carriers within our premises.
