Security Comes First
Every day seems to bring the latest big news about a security breach, whether it’s a national security leak, theft of credit card numbers or invasions of privacy. We at MarketVolt are dedicated to vigilance in protecting the data you store on MarketVolt systems. We never sell your list of recipients and we maintain the highest security protections around all your data.
Examples of our security measures include stringent password protection policies, state-of-the-art encryption, firewalls, intrusion detection and anti-virus protection. For our customers who pay with a credit card, you should know that we do not store your credit card number. This might make for a hassle the next time you renew, but that is a small price for peace of mind.
We provide the heightened levels of security required of firms in the health care and financial industries that handle confidential personal information, yet, here is the key: one can never be satisfied. The security landscape is changing constantly in the technology industry. As chief technologist for MarketVolt, I am constantly on the lookout for potential weaknesses in our defenses.
But I need your help.
We encourage our MarketVolt customers to embrace sound security measures in using MarketVolt software and services to achieve your digital marketing goals.
Here are a few recommendations:
- Do not share your MarketVolt username and password — with anyone.
- Passwords should be at least 8 characters in length.
- Vary the types of characters in your passwords; include numbers, letters and special characters when possible.
- Do not use an easily guessed password. Examples include ‘password1’, ‘1234567’, ‘letmein’, birthdays, children’s names, and other common words.
- Do not store sensitive information such as credit card or social security numbers in your MarketVolt database.
If you have any questions about MarketVolt security, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Thank you,
