Is my data encrypted at rest?
Yes, Encryption is done at the application layer using the AES-256 algorithm. AES-256 is a symmetric key encryption algorithm that uses 128-bit blocks and 256-bit keys.
We encrypt all the media stored in the file upload, image, signature, audio, and video in your Zoho Creator applications. Also, when you're using fields to capture any sensitive, confidential, or personally identifiable information (PII), you can add another layer of protection by enabling the encrypt data field property.
In addition to the application-layer encryption, full-disk encryption is in place at our IN (India), AU (Australia), and EU (Europe) datacenters. Learn more.
Is my data encrypted during transmission?
Yes, Zoho Creator encrypts data during transmission using industry-standard encryption protocols (such as SSL/TLS), ensuring that your data remains secure while being transferred over networks. We mandate all connections to our servers use Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.2/1.3) encryption with strong ciphers. Learn more.
Who can access my data?
Access to your data within Zoho Creator is strictly controlled based on user roles and permissions that you define. Only authorized users you add to the application with the appropriate permissions can access and manipulate data within your Zoho Creator applications. We use technical access controls and organizational procedures to prevent staff from randomly accessing user data. To reduce the danger of data disclosure, we follow the principles of least privilege and role-based access control. Learn more.
Where is my data stored?
Your data is securely stored in geographically distributed data centers operated by Zoho Corporation. These data centers are located across various regions globally to ensure redundancy, resilience, and compliance with data sovereignty requirements.
