Security, privacy and trust at the core of our approach

 

Open-Xchange believes that privacy is a fundamental right for all users of communication services. As a result, we focus on delivering secure products and services that support privacy.

To do this, we have an established information security management system, which is supported by applying _secure coding techniques, and using independent product audits, penetration testing and bug-bounty programs to anchor security in the development of our solutions. In addition, Open-Xchange products do not collect information that users don't want to share and we do not sell any data to third parties.

Open-Xchange has also launched the Trusted Email Services (TES) initiative, aimed at raising awareness around email security threats and promoting the deployment of technologies that address trust, security and privacy issues.

Security and Privacy in Action

We give our customers the tools they need to meet their compliance and reporting requirements, and data ownership, security, transparency and accountability are all fundamental parts of our contracts.

Privacy & compliance

 

Trust is an essential part of all our relationships, whether you're a customer, partner or supplier. Transparency is also part of Open-Xchange's DNA, and we work hard to establish and maintain trust. As a result:

  • Customers – not Open-Xchange – own their data. Open-Xchange will not sell your personal data to third parties, and never processes personal data from our services for any other purposes than those agreed on.
