Security at Apoing

How we protect the accounts and data of the people who book with Apoing, and what a town hall, a school or a community can check before using it.

Your account

What we do so that only you get in.

Passwords nobody can read

We don't store your password, only a fingerprint computed with PBKDF2 (100,000 rounds and a different salt for each person). Not even the Apoing team can tell what it is.

Two-step verification

On top of your password you can ask for a 6-digit code from your phone. It is compulsory for Apoing staff with administrative access. How to turn it on.

New sign-in alerts

If someone signs in to your account from a browser or phone we hadn't seen, we email you the device, the time and the IP address. From your profile you can see where your account is open and sign it out anywhere.

Limits on repeated attempts

After several failed attempts we block sign-in for a few minutes and ask for "I'm not a robot". Changing your password signs out every open session, including the app's.

Your data

What we keep, for how long and how you take it with you.

Download or delete it whenever you want

From your profile you can download a file with everything we hold about you (profile, bookings, matches, messages, what you have accepted) and delete your account yourself.

It is deleted when it is no longer needed

Every night an automatic task deletes or anonymises whatever has passed its period:

DataKept for
Sign-in logs (date, IP, browser)12 months
Devices you have signed in from13 months unused
Bookings with your name5 years, then anonymous
Unused account (we warn you first)3 years
Backups12 months at most

GDPR and no selling of data

We process data under the GDPR and Spain's LOPDGDD. We don't sell personal data. The details are in the privacy policy.

Backups and continuity

If something fails, what we can recover.

A nightly backup, encrypted and away from the server

The database is backed up every night, checked, encrypted with AES-256 and stored elsewhere, in a folder the server cannot delete or overwrite. The server provider also takes a full daily copy that it keeps for 10 days.

Restore tested every week

Every week we automatically restore the latest backup on another machine and check that it is complete.

Where the servers are

In Contabo data centres in Germany, inside the European Union.

Who can see what

Inside each community and inside Apoing.

Each community sees its own

A community's administrators see its members' bookings and contact details, and nothing from other communities. Members don't see each other's email or phone number.

Apoing support, only to help you and logged

If the Apoing team has to enter an account to fix a problem, we log who entered, when, why and which screens they saw. That log is kept for 12 months.

For town halls and schools

What a data protection officer usually asks for.

Each community accepts a data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR) when it signs up (existing ones, the first time their administrator signs in). We record who accepted it, when and which version, and the administrator can download it as a PDF in Edit community (website) or in the community settings (app).

If you need more information for your assessment (record of processing, technical measures or another document), write to support@apoing.com.
