Joan Security

Our commitment to keep your data secure

At Visionect, we take your privacy seriously. Our highest priority is to provide a secure environment for your data that meets and exceeds all industry-standard security practices and guidelines. The following is an overview of the steps we take to secure your data.

 

Exchanging data with the server

 

JOAN is a thin client device, meaning that all of its operations take place online. This requires a stable connection with a server. Depending on the type of hosting (in-the-cloud or on-premises), the data is transferred differently based on the location of the device server. Below are the images that describe the information flow between the JOAN device, its server, and the firmware and calendar servers.

All the communication adheres to the highest safety standards.

Our pledge

 

We will be transparent about the different types of information we collect and how we use them.

We will ask your permission before sharing your personal information with third parties for purposes other than at your request or to provide Visionect Products and Services, and to do so only when we think they will provide you with a welcome additional service.

We will use best-in-class data security tools to keep your data safe and protect Visionect Products and Services from unauthorized access.

This is just a small part of our Security Policy. We’re always happy to provide more details if you’d like to get more information. For any questions or feedback please contact us at info@visionect.com or info@getjoan.com.
