This Privacy Policy explains how INTEK CENTER SASU ("the Company"), registered at 369Q Avenue de Verdun, 33700 Mérignac, France (RCS Bordeaux 844 849 174), collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data in connection with the PrintFix service at printfix.app ("the Service").

8. Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures:

  • All communications encrypted via TLS 1.2+ (HTTPS enforced, .app HSTS preloaded).
  • Passwords hashed (bcrypt) — we never store plain-text passwords.
  • Database access controlled by strict security rules (principle of least privilege).
  • SNMP keys (readKey/writeKey) never exposed client-side — transmitted only via encrypted server-to-agent channel after Reset Key validation.
  • Webhook signatures verified cryptographically to prevent tampering.
  • Rate limiting on all API endpoints to prevent brute-force and abuse.
  • Regular security reviews and dependency updates.

In the event of a data breach likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the CNIL within 72 hours (Art. 33 GDPR) and inform affected users without undue delay (Art. 34 GDPR).
