Security of Your Information
The security of your data is paramount to us. We implement a variety of technical and organizational security measures to maintain the safety of your personal data when you place an order or access your personal data. We use secure servers and employ encryption technologies where appropriate, especially for cloud-based property management solutions. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

If you are located outside Sweden and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including personal data, to Sweden and process it there. By submitting your personal data, you agree to that transfer. SveaSoft Systems AB will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your personal data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information.
