Cookies are small data files that we store on your computer or device. You can find out more about cookies by visiting http://www.allaboutcookies.org/
FindersCrowd sets and accesses our own cookies on the domains operated by FindersCrowd and its corporate affiliates (collectively, the “Sites”). In addition, we use third party cookies, like Google Analytics. We use cookies in a variety of ways, including as follows:
Authentication: If you're signed in to your account, cookies help us keep you logged in, show you the right information and personalize your experience.

FindersCrowd is dedicated to protecting all customer data using industry best standards. This Security Statement is intended to provide a short transparent view of our security infrastructure and practices to help assure that your data is protected.
SSL/TLS Encryption: All communications with the FindersCrowd website and service are sent over SSL/TLS connections. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology (the successor technology to SSL) protect communications by using both server authentication and data encryption. This ensures that user data in transit is safe, secure, and available only to intended recipients.
User Authentication: User data on our database is logically segregated by account-based access rules. User accounts have unique usernames and passwords that must be entered each time a user logs on. FindersCrowd issues a session token only to record encrypted authentication information for the duration of a specific session. The session token does not include the password of the user.
User Passwords: User application passwords have minimum complexity requirements. Passwords are individually salted and hashed.
Data Encryption: Certain sensitive user data, such as account passwords, is stored in encrypted format.
Physical Security, Availability, Network Security, and Storage Security
FindersCrowd uses the Microsoft Azure cloud platform to host its applications. As such, FindersCrowd leverages Microsoft’s cutting-edge security and technology infrastructure. Azure currently meets a broad set of international and industry-specific compliance standards, such as ISO 27001, HIPAA, FedRAMP, SOC 1 and SOC 2, as well as country-specific standards like Australia IRAP, UK G-Cloud, and Singapore MTCS. Rigorous third-party audits, such as by the British Standards Institute, verify Azure’s adherence to the strict security controls these standards mandate. Microsoft has leveraged its decades-long experience building enterprise software and running some of the world’s largest online services to create industry-leading security technologies and practices. These help ensure that Azure infrastructure is resilient to attack and safeguards user access to the Azure environment, and helps keep customer data secure.

Employee Screening: We perform background screening on all employees. Training: We provide security and technology use training for employees. Access: Access controls to sensitive data in our databases, systems and environments are set on a need-to-know / least privilege necessary basis.
Coding Practices: Our engineers use best practices and industry-standard secure coding guidelines to ensure secure coding.
Despite best efforts, no method of transmission over the Internet and no method of electronic storage is perfectly secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. However, if FindersCrowd learns of a security breach, we will notify affected users so that they can take appropriate protective steps. Our breach notification procedures are consistent with our obligations under various state and federal laws and regulation, as well as any industry rules or standards that we adhere to. Notification procedures include providing email notices or posting a notice on our website if a breach occurs.
Keeping your data secure also depends on you ensuring that you maintain the security of your account by using sufficiently complicated passwords and storing them safely. You should also ensure that you have sufficient security on your own systems, to keep any study data you download to your own computer away from prying eyes.
FindersCrowd may occasionally amend this information; such changes will be notified by changing the last updated section in this document and may also be shown as a welcome message when logging into our site. We encourage our customers to regularly check for any updates to this statement.
