GDPR

NetCells Limited, a UK company, known as NetCells, supports the European legislation, known as GDPR, designed to counteract global data grabbing and misuse.

# Data we manage are of three types:
1 NetCells data - company data - stored on our private servers (VPS) and off-line - used to run the company itself.
2 Data generated on our networks - those data are owned by our network Participants - stored securely on our private servers (VPS) UZone - to be shared - internally or publicly - published on the Internet - be edited or deleted at will - as their private cloud storage. Those data are backed up on regular basis - on a remote private server - a new backup will overwrite the previous. Account passwords are stored in encrypted form.
3 Web account (web site) data (including email) - those data belong to the web account Owner, stored on the web account itself - either a managed private server (VPS) or a managed shared server. While we manage the servers, the security of those data is the sole responsibility of the account Owners. Those data are backed up on regular basis - on a remote private server - a new backup will overwrite the previous. We do not store your account passwords.

# Privacy and data protection are at the very foundation of NetCells, right from the outset, the year 2000 onwards. We did not like giving our data to big companies for no good reason, and so we set up our own Internet facility to keep our private data really private - that is what we have been doing ever since - it has subsequently became known as cloud data storage. Once you have ten or more years of data at your disposal you can't fail to understand their value.

# NetCells handling of personal data is aligned with our mission - supporting Individuality and true Human Creativity worldwide. NetCells never sold or made data available to third parties, furthermore, it is in our charter that the company will never be sold. We have no cookies or trackers on our site (except, of course, our Participants login - the UZone). If you believe we might be holding your data, either public or private, against your wishes contact us.

# Only the company director has access to the NetCells data. We no longer employ third-party developers - if you do that is at your own risk. Any joint projects are carried out in isolated environments, not involving any personal data.

# For daily operations NetCells relies on hardware, AI and facilities provided by other companies, which have their own GDPR policies - for your informaion, all our data-handling partnering companies are listed below. Those companies do not have access to our Participants private data, except for the shared Server12 in Frankfurt.

# In this increasingly dangerious web environment, we store and protect your data in the same way as our own, although no one can give you a 100% security guarantee, we believe your data is significantly safer with us than a great majority of providers - as long as you are competent in handling your own access credentials.

# Don't forget, in the long term the effectiveness of GDPR depends on YOU handling your data responsibly - when you use "free" email service, when you are using this or that "social" network you are generating data about yourself and all other people you interact with, today's giant corporations are expert in capturing those data - be responsible with data you store - there is no excuse for weak passwords and sloppy practices.
