SOC 2 Type II

Userpilot is a product experience platform that is used by hundreds of teams to deliver in-app experiences to their users. As a vendor that processes millions of data points on a daily basis, we take our customers and their users’ data very seriously. Userpilot takes full responsibility for all data that's processed through the platform. Our data is fully encrypted, managed, and stored by SOC-compliant vendors such as Amazon AWS and Google Cloud.

Security

All data that is handled and processed through the Userpilot platform is fully secured against unauthorized access. Only authorized Userpilot personnel are allowed to access such data and are required to authenticate themselves whenever such data is accessed.

We have also taken extreme measures to prevent unauthorized access, theft or manipulation of data.

      Availability

      The Userpilot platform architecture was built to ensure maximum accessibility and uptime. Our APIs are fully separate from our product server, and redundant failover servers are set in place.

      Our infrastructure is largely provisioned across AWS, with a small footprint in GCP (Google Cloud Platform), in order to power smaller components in our Userpilot application. Our Amazon infrastructure is contained within Userpilot managed VPCs (Virtual Private Clouds) and provides total isolation from other instances in the same datacenter.

      Moreover, all of our data is synced in real-time with multiple backups on a daily basis.

      Backups

      We perform daily backups of all application data in multiple locations. We ensure every instance is fully encrypted and secured.

      Privacy

      Commitment to data privacy through initiatives:

      • Data Transfer Practice

          We offer Standard Contractual Clauses for compliant user data transfer and storage outside of the EU.

      • Privacy By Design

          Userpilot takes a comprehensive approach to security and privacy, and does not sell our customers' user data.

      • Updated Privacy Policy

          We updated our Privacy Policy to honor our commitment to privacy.
