Document Privacy
Learn how to safely store and share documents in LiveBinders, and when to use third-party tools.
Document Security & Data Residency
LiveBinders is a web application designed for packaging your resources into virtual 3-ring binders. It provides a visually intuitive way for stakeholders to access resources, regardless of where they are stored. We are committed to transparency regarding how your data is handled and where it resides.
🌐Data Residency & Infrastructure
For customers with strict data sovereignty requirements, we provide the following assurances regarding our infrastructure:
United States Storage: All LiveBinders application data and uploaded files are stored exclusively on servers located within the United States. We do not store, mirror, or backup your data on foreign soil.
Cloud Infrastructure: Our platform is hosted by Amazon Web Services in their US data centers.
Server-Level Encryption: To protect against unauthorized physical access, all data is encrypted at the storage level (Encryption-at-Rest) using industry-standard AES-256 protocols.
Data in Transit: All communication between your device and our servers is encrypted using SSL/TLS protocols, creating a secure tunnel for your information.
⚠️Compliance & Intended Use
LiveBinders is designed for general organization. It is not intended for the storage of highly regulated or sensitive data.
Not compliant with:
PHI: Protected Health Information governed by HIPAA.
FERPA: Personally Identifiable Information for students or minors (e.g., student records).
Financial Data: Data covered by GLBA or similar banking compliance standards.
Recommendation: If your content falls under these categories, we recommend storing files on a secure, compliant third-party service (e.g., Google Drive, Box, or SharePoint) and then linking or embedding them into your binder.
