|
|
<p style="text-align: left;">Our devices, which we're sending, writing to you with your personal details
|
|
(email traffic,
|
|
text, questions etc.) are encrypted. That means, if someone steal or if we loose our devices it'll
|
|
be
|
|
hard for
|
|
everyone to get access to our data/your data. We're using Linux at our Desktop devices which are
|
|
encrypted with
|
|
LUKS. And we're using Andorid Phones which are encrypted as well and free of Google with Open Source
|
|
Software. If
|
|
we're using Closed Software they're blocked with a firewall or hasn't any internet aspiration.</p>
