Welcome back! Nice to see you again!
This page provides information about how your use of a BEE service relates to the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR (GDPR – Official page, GDPR – Wikipedia page).
Some frequently asked questions are included at the bottom of the page.
BEE is a service of BEE Content Design, Inc., a Delaware corporation. BEE Content Design, Inc. acts as a Data Controller under the GDPR (for more information about data controllers & data processors, please click here). Specifically, below please find a description of how your personally identifiable information is handled when our services are used.
The entire BEE system infrastructure is hosted on Amazon Web Services (Ireland region), using multiple instances propagated inside multiple availability zones. The service has been built to scale and support a high number of concurrent sessions. Security of the hosting facilities is managed directly by Amazon (see https://aws.amazon.com/security/).
BEE Content Design, Inc. – which provides the BEE service – does not directly manage the AWS account, which is instead managed by its parent company. Specifically, BEE Content Design, Inc. is a business unit within Growens, which is publicly traded on the Italian stock exchange. Everything from internal security policies to the AWS account is managed directly by Growens. As a EU-based company, Growens is particularly committed to GDPR compliance: you can read more about its infrastructure and focus on GDPR compliance at https://www.mailup.com/gdpr-infrastructure/
