How we protect your data

Appogee HR data is automatically encrypted at rest by the Google Cloud Platform. Data is encrypted under 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-128), and each encryption key is itself encrypted with a regularly rotated set of master keys. All Appogee Leave servers are hosted with a 2048 bit SSL certificate, which encrypts data between the Appogee HR user’s browser client and our application servers. Some customer licensing data is transferred within Google data-centers between Appogee HR’s application and licensing servers and this is also fully encrypted.

Google control the keys for encryption at rest and Appogee HR controls the SSL certificates (between user and application) and the keys for server to server encryption
