A Comprehensive Look at LetsPoker’s Data Protection Measures

As the world of live poker continues to grow, ensuring that user data is secure and private has become a top priority for our platform. In this blog post, we’ll explore the various security measures implemented by LetsPoker to safeguard user information, from two-factor authentication to encryption and beyond.

Two-Factor Authentication for Enhanced Security

One of the key features of LetsPoker’s security approach is the implementation of two-factor authentication (2FA).

• 2FA requires users to verify their identity using two different methods, typically a password and a secondary verification code sent to their mobile device.
• This additional layer of security makes it much more difficult for unauthorized individuals to gain access to user accounts, as they would need both the password and the physical device to proceed.
• In simple terms, it’s like having two locks on your front door, ensuring that even if someone cracks one lock, they still can’t get in without the other.

Encryption and Data Privacy

LetsPoker takes data privacy very seriously.

• All customer data is encrypted at rest, meaning that it’s scrambled into a code that can only be deciphered with a specific key.
• This ensures that even if someone were to gain physical access to the servers, they wouldn’t be able to make sense of it without the proper key.
• Furthermore, customer data is logically separated and segregated, ensuring that each customer’s information is kept private and secure.
• LetsPoker does not use, sell or license customer data to any third party for any purpose and has strong guarantees in its contracts regarding privacy.
• Additionally, private data can only be accessed by authenticated users, as all endpoints verify the user’s session before returning any information.

ISO 27001 Certification

LetsPoker is proud to be ISO 27001 certified, a globally recognized standard for information security management systems. This certification demonstrates that LetsPoker has implemented a comprehensive set of security controls and processes to protect user data, adhering to strict industry standards.

High Availability Clusters and Continuous Backups

To ensure that user data is always available and protected, LetsPoker stores data in high availability clusters, spread across multiple computers.

• This redundancy ensures that even if one computer fails, user data remains accessible and secure.
• Moreover, LetsPoker has continuous backups configured, providing an additional layer of protection in case of data loss or system failure.

Data Storage in the European Union

LetsPoker stores all data in Ireland and Frankfurt, in the AWS cloud – the world’s leading cloud provider.

• By storing data within the European Union, LetsPoker adheres to strict EU data protection laws, which are known to be more stringent than those in other parts of the world.
• This commitment to data protection further demonstrates LetsPoker’s dedication to user privacy and security.

Logical Data Deletion and Permanent Deletion Upon Request

To provide customers with a complete trail of their employees’ activities, LetsPoker does not allow user accounts to permanently delete data.

• Instead, data can be deleted logically, ensuring that a record of all activities remains accessible for auditing purposes.
• However, upon written request from a customer’s account owner, LetsPoker can permanently delete data as needed, providing flexibility and control to its customers.

Conclusion

LetsPoker’s commitment to security and privacy is evident in its comprehensive approach to data protection. From two-factor authentication and encryption to ISO 27001 certification and EU data storage, LetsPoker goes above and beyond to ensure that user information is safe and secure. By entrusting your live poker events to LetsPoker, you can have peace of mind knowing that your data is in good hands.
