Security

The security of your personal information is important to us. We maintain a variety of appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to protect your personal information. We limit access to personal information about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs. Further, we have implemented reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to protect personal information about you. When you enter sensitive information (such as your password), we encrypt that information in transit using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption technology. No method of transmission over the Internet, method of electronic storage or other security methods are one hundred percent secure. Therefore, while we strive to use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Security Policy

Effective day 14 February 2018

Overview

At Sevron we take the protection of customer data extremely seriously. This Sevron Security Policy describes the organizational and technical measures Sevron implements platform wide designed to prevent unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure of customer data. The Sevron services operate on Amazon Web Services (“AWS”); this policy describes activities of Sevron within its instance on AWS unless otherwise specified. As you continue to learn more about Sevron we recommend you also review our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Security Team

Our infrastructure and security team includes people who’ve played lead roles in designing, building, and operating highly secure Internet facing systems at companies ranging from startups to large public companies.

Best Practices

Incident Response Plan

  • We have implemented a formal procedure for security events and have educated all our staff on our policies.
  • When security events are detected they are escalated to our emergency alias, teams are paged, notified and assembled to rapidly address the event.
  • After a security event is fixed we write up a post-mortem analysis.
  • The analysis is reviewed in person, distributed across the company and includes action items that will make the detection and prevention of a similar event easier in the future.
  • Sevron will promptly notify you in writing upon verification of a security breach of the Sevron services that affects your data. Notification will describe the breach and the status of Sevron’s investigation.

Build Process Automation

  • We have functioning, frequently used automation in place so that we can safely and reliably rollout changes to both our application and operating platform within minutes.
  • We typically deploy code dozens of times a day, so we have high confidence that we can get a security fix out quickly when required.

Infrastructure

  • All of our services run in the cloud. Sevron does not run our own routers, load balancers, DNS servers, or physical servers.
  • All of our services and data are hosted in AWS facilities in the EU and protected by AWS security, as described http://aws.amazon.com/security/sharing-the-security-responsibility at . Sevron services have been built with disaster recovery in mind.
  • All of our infrastructure is spread across 3 AWS data centers (availability zones) and will continue to work should any one of those data centers fail unexpectedly. Amazon does not disclose the location of its data centers. As such, Sevron builds on the physical security and environmental controls provided by AWS. See http://aws.amazon.com/security for details of AWS security infrastructure.
  • All of our servers are within our own virtual private cloud (VPC) with network access control lists (ACL’s) that prevent unauthorized requests getting to our internal network.
  • Sevron uses a backup solution for datastores that contain customer data.

Data

  • All customer data is stored in the EU.
  • Customer data is stored in multi-tenant datastores; we do not have individual datastores for each customer. However strict privacy controls exist in our application code that are designed to ensure data privacy and to prevent one customer from accessing another customer’s data (i.e., logical separation). We have many unit and integration tests in place to ensure these privacy controls work as expected. These tests are run every time our codebase is updated and even one single test failing will prevent new code being shipped to production.
  • Each Sevron system used to process customer data is adequately configured and pathed using commercially-reasonable methods according to industry-recognized system-hardening standards.
  • Sevron engages certain subprocessors to process customer data. These subprocessors are listed at https://www.sevron.co.uk/security-third-parties, as may be updated by Sevron from time to time.

Data Transfer

  • All data sent to or from Sevron is encrypted in transit using 256-bit encryption.
  • Our API and application endpoints are TLS/SSL only and score an "A+" rating on SSL Labs' tests. This means we only use strong cipher suites and have features such as HSTS and Perfect Forward Secrecy fully enabled.

Authentication

  • Sevron is served 100% over https. Sevron runs a zero-trust corporate network.
  • There are no corporate resources or additional privileges from being on Sevron’s network.
  • We have two-factor authentication (2FA) and strong password policies on GitHub, Google, AWS and Sevron to ensure access to cloud services are protected.

Permissions and Admin Controls

  • Sevron enables permission levels to be set for any employees with access to Sevron.
  • Permissions and access can be set to include app settings, billing, user data, or the ability to send/edit manual messages and auto messages.

Application Monitoring

  • On an application level, we produce audit logs for all activity, ship logs to our service providers for analysis, and use S3/Glacier for archival purposes.
  • All access to Sevron applications is logged and audited.
  • Bastion hosts are used to login to devices.
  • All actions taken on production consoles or in the Sevron application are logged.

Security Audits and Certifications

  • We bi-annually engage with well-regarded third-party auditors to audit our code-base, and work with them to resolve potential issues.
  • We use technologies to provide an audit trail over our infrastructure and the Sevron application. Auditing allows us to do ad-hoc security analysis, track changes made to our setup and audit access to every layer of our stack.
  • Information about AWS security certifications and obtaining copies of security reports from AWS is available at http://aws.amazon.com/compliance/pci-data-privacy-protection-hipaa-soc-fedramp-faqs/

Payment Processing

All payment instrument processing for purchase of the Sevron services is performed by Stripe. For more information on Stripe’s security practices, please see https://stripe.com/docs/security/stripe.

Customer Responsibilities

  • Managing your own user accounts and roles from within the Sevron services.
  • Protecting your own account and user credentials by using two-factor authentication for all of your employees accessing the Sevron services.
  • Compliance with the terms of your services agreement with Sevron, including with respect to compliance with laws.
  • Promptly notifying Sevron if a user credential has been compromised or if you suspect possible suspicious activities that could negatively impact security of the Sevron services or your account.
  • You may not perform any security penetration tests or security assessment activities without the express advance written consent of Sevron.

Acceptance of Terms

This is a website provided by Sevron Ltd (Trading as Sevron) a limited company under the company number 06053767. Our VAT number is 913 296 229.

Sevron Ltd. and its affiliates and subsidiaries ("Sevron" or "us" or "we") welcome you to our Site! The "Site" means www.sevron.co.uk, safety365.sevron.co.uk, coshh365.sevron.co.uk, msds365.sevron.co.uk,  sdsinventory.com and any successor URLs, mobile or localized versions and related sub-domains, in whatever format they may be offered now or in the future. Through the Site, we may provide you with general information regarding our company, products and services.

By using or accessing any part of the Site, you are agreeing to these Website Terms of Use ("Terms"), our Privacy Policy and all other policies or notices posted by us on our Site. Portions of the Site may be accompanied by additional terms which apply to specific features or areas of the Site. Those additional terms supplement these Terms with respect to your use of those features or areas. These Terms may change over time, so whenever you visit or use this Site, you agree to the version of these Terms then posted. If you don't agree to these Terms, don't use the Site.

Sevron also offers a suite of enterprise software-as-a-service solutions designed to enable customers to manage communications with, and data about, their end users (the "Sevron Services"). Use of the Sevron Services is subject to our Sevron Subscription Terms of Service , and these Terms do not apply to use of the Sevron Services or receipt of related services, except where otherwise noted.

THESE TERMS CONTAIN MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISIONS THAT REQUIRE THE USE OF ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS. PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY.

Permission to Use the Site

You have our permission to use the Site, but only if:

  • you are using the Site for informational and internal business purposes (personally or on behalf of your company); and

  • you follow all the rules and restrictions we've spelled out in these Terms.

You are solely responsible for any User Content you post to the Site, and the consequences of posting or publishing it. By "User Content", we mean any Content a user posts to the Site, including comments or posts made via third party services. "Content" means information, data, text, software, music, sound, photos, graphics, videos, messages, tags, interactive features, or any other materials. When we say "post", we include posting, uploading, sharing, submitting or otherwise providing User Content in any manner in connection with the Site.

Restrictions on User Content and Your Conduct

You may not post any User Content in violation of the Sevron Acceptable Use Policy . We have the sole right, but not necessarily the obligation, to delete or edit at any time any User Content that violates these rules or that we believe to be inappropriate for any reason.

Intellectual Property Rights in User Content

If you post User Content, you are making a guarantee to us that you either own all the User Content you are posting, or you have the right to post the User Content. Furthermore, you are guaranteeing that you have the right to allow us to make your User Content available for others to view and use as part of the Site without requiring that any such use be subject to additional obligations or terms. If you do not have these rights, do not post your User Content. By posting your User Content, you do not lose any ownership rights you may have to it. However, you do grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully-paid, sublicenseable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, and publicly display and perform your User Content in connection with the Site and our business, in any media formats or in tangible form and through any media channels now known or hereinafter developed.

You also agree to sharing and use of your User Content by other users as set forth in these terms.

User Content You Post Becomes Public

You understand that once you post your User Content, your User Content becomes public. We are not responsible for keeping any User Content confidential. So, if you don't want the whole world to see it, don't post it on the Site.

In addition, we may share your User Content with third parties if we have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of your User Content is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce these Terms, including investigation of potential violations thereof, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) protect against imminent harm to the rights, property or safety of Sevron, its users or the public as required or permitted by law.

We Are Not Responsible for User Content

We generally do not monitor or review any User Content. We do not endorse any User Content or support any views, opinions, recommendations, or advice that may be in User Content. User Content comes from a variety of sources, and we make no promises about the reliability of any source or the accuracy, usefulness, safety, or intellectual property rights of any User Content. You may be offended by User Content that you see on the Site. You may find some of it to be inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable. However, as further set forth below, you agree not to hold us responsible in any way for your use of our Site, including your exposure to User Content.

In addition, we are not a content-archiving service. We do not promise to store or make available on our Site any User Content that you post, or any other Content, for any length of time. You are solely responsible for keeping back-ups of everything you post on our Site.

Proprietary Rights

The Site contains proprietary and confidential information that is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws and Sevron and its suppliers retain all right, title and interest (including all copyright, trade secret, patent and other rights) in and to the Site and Content which is included in the Site (other than User Content). If you give feedback regarding the Site, for example recommendations for improvements or features, we have the right to use the feedback in any way and implementation of that feedback is owned by us and may become part of the Site without compensation to you. We reserve all rights in and to the Site unless we expressly state otherwise. We also reserve the right to make changes or updates to the Site or Content provided on or through the Site at any time without notice and we will own any such changes or updates (excluding User Content).

You may not:

All brand, product and service images, logos and names used in the Site that identify Sevron, our suppliers or our customers and our or their proprietary products and services are the trademarks or service marks of Sevron, our suppliers or our customers. Nothing in this Site shall be deemed to confer on any person any license or right on the part of Sevron or such supplier with respect to any such image, logo or name.

Enforcement of Copyrights

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. You may not use our Site to infringe anyone else's copyright or other intellectual property right. If we find out that you are infringing, we may remove your User Content. We do not have to give you notice that we are removing your User Content. In addition to our other rights and remedies, we may also terminate your account if we determine that you are a repeat copyright infringer. We consider a repeat infringer to be a user who has been notified of infringing activity more than twice or who has had their User Content removed from our Site more than twice.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

  1. Governing law

    These Terms and Conditions are subject to English law and each of us hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

    Direct Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising from or relating to these Terms, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, ("Dispute"), the parties shall first use their best efforts to resolve the Dispute. If a Dispute arises, the complaining party shall provide written notice to the other party in a document specifically entitled "Initial Notice of Dispute," specifically setting forth the precise nature of the dispute ("Initial Notice of Dispute"). If an Initial Notice of Dispute is being sent to Sevron it must be emailed to legal@SEVRON.io and sent via mail to:

    Attn: Legal Department
    Sevron Ltd.
    77 Golden Hill Lane,
    Leyland,
    Lancashire,
    PR25 3FF

    YOU AGREE THAT IF YOU WANT TO RESOLVE A DISPUTE WITH SEVRON, YOU MUST SEND AN INITIAL NOTICE OF DISPUTE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE EVENT THAT GAVE RISE TO THE DISPUTE. OTHERWISE, YOUR DISPUTE WILL BE PERMANENTLY BARRED.

    Following receipt of the Initial Notice of Dispute, the parties shall consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and, recognizing their mutual interest, attempt to reach a just and equitable solution of the Dispute that is satisfactory to both parties ("Direct Dispute Resolution"). If the parties are unable to reach a resolution of the Dispute through Direct Dispute Resolution within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the Initial Notice of Dispute, then the Dispute shall subsequently be resolved by arbitration as set forth below.

  2. Arbitration. IN THE EVENT THAT A DISPUTE BETWEEN THE PARTIES CANNOT BE SETTLED THROUGH DIRECT DISPUTE RESOLUTION, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, THE PARTIES AGREE TO SUBMIT THE DISPUTE TO BINDING ARBITRATION. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE, THE PARTIES AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be conducted before a single neutral arbitrator, before JAMS in Lancashire, UK. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS in accordance with this document and the JAMS Streamlined Rules and Procedures for the Arbitration, with one addition: The limitation of one discovery deposition per side shall be applied by the arbitrator, unless it is determined, based on all relevant circumstances, that more depositions are warranted. The arbitrator shall consider the amount in controversy, the complexity of the factual issues, the number of parties and the diversity of their interests and whether any or all of the claims appear, on the basis of the pleadings, to have sufficient merit to justify the time and expense associated with the requested discovery.

    The arbitration will occur in Lancashire, United Kingdom, but the parties may choose to appear by person, by phone, by another virtual means, or through the submission of documents.

    The arbitrator will issue a ruling in writing. Any issue concerning the extent to which any dispute is subject to arbitration, the applicability, interpretation, or enforceability of these Terms shall be resolved by the arbitrator. To the extent state law is applicable, the arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of the United Kingdom.

    All aspects of the arbitration shall be treated as confidential and neither the parties nor the arbitrators may disclose the content or results of the arbitration, except as necessary to comply with legal or regulatory requirements. The result of the arbitration shall be binding on the parties and judgment on the arbitrator's award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration.

  3. Choice of Law and Jurisdiction. FOR ANY CLAIM WHICH IS NOT SUBJECT TO THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION, YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT AND CONSENT TO THE PERSONAL AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION IN, AND THE EXCLUSIVE VENUE OF, THE COUNTY AND COURTS LOCATED WITHIN LANCASHIRE UK. IN ANY DISPUTE, UK LAW SHALL APPLY.

  4. Construction and Joinder. THESE TERMS MUST BE CONSTRUED AS IF THEY WERE JOINTLY WRITTEN BY BOTH PARTIES. BOTH YOU AND SEVRON AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN THEIR RESPECTIVE INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS. NO ARBITRATION OR CLAIM UNDER THESE TERMS SHALL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION OR CLAIM, INCLUDING ANY ARBITRATION OR CLAIM INVOLVING ANY OTHER CURRENT OR FORMER USER OF THE SITE, AND NO CLASS ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE PERMITTED. IN THE EVENT OF ANY DISPUTE CONCERNING THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION, SUCH CLAIM MUST BE ADJUDICATED BY A COURT AND NOT BY AN ARBITRATOR.

  5. Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the above provisions, Sevron may apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.

General Terms

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other notices or policies we have published on the Site (and additional terms for specific features or areas, as applicable), constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding this Site. If a court having proper authority decides that any portion of these Terms is invalid, only the part that is invalid will not apply. The rest of these Terms will still be in effect. If we waive any of our rights under these Terms in any particular instance, it does not mean that we are waiving our rights generally or in the future. Furthermore, just because we may not enforce all our rights all of the time, it does not mean that we are waiving our rights. We may decide to enforce them at a later date. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted under these Terms, may not be transferred or assigned by you except as expressly set forth herein, but may be assigned by us without restriction. We won't be liable to you for any delay or failure to perform any obligation we have under these Terms if the delay or failure is due to events which are beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to any strike, blockade, war, act of terrorism, riot, natural disaster, failure or diminishment of power or of telecommunications or data networks or services, or refusal of approval or a license by a government agency.

Service Level Agreement

Effective day 14 February 2018

This Sevron Service Level Agreement ("SLA") accompanies the Sevron Subscription Terms of Service, available at https://sevron.co.uk/terms-of-service or a successor URL (the "Agreement") entered into between you ("Customer") and Sevron. Capitalized terms used in this SLA that are not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

  1. Target Availability. Sevron will use commercially reasonable efforts to make each Service available with an uptime of 99.8% of each calendar month ("Target Availability").

  1. Exclusions. The calculation of uptime will not include unavailability to the extent due to: (a) use of the Service by Customer in a manner not authorized in this Agreement or the applicable Documentation; (b) general Internet problems, force majeure events or other factors outside of Sevron's reasonable control; (c) Customer's equipment, software, network connections or other infrastructure; (d) third party systems, acts or omissions; or (e) Scheduled Maintenance or reasonable emergency maintenance.

  1. Scheduled Maintenance. "Scheduled Maintenance" means Sevron's scheduled routine maintenance of the Services for which Sevron notifies Customer at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance. Scheduled Maintenance will not exceed eight (8) hours per month. Sevron typically performs Scheduled Maintenance once per month.

  1. Remedy for Failure to Meet Target Availability. If there is a verified failure of a Service to meet Target Availability in two (2) consecutive months, then Customer may terminate the applicable Subscription Term by sending written notice of termination within thirty (30) days after the end of the second such month, in which case Sevron will refund to Customer any fees Customer has pre-paid for use of such Service for the terminated portion of the applicable Subscription Term. This termination and refund right is Customer's sole and exclusive remedy, and Sevron's sole and exclusive liability, for Sevron's failure to meet the Target Availability.

This Acceptable Use Policy applies to Sevron’s (a) websites (including without limitation www.sevron.co.uk, coshh365.sevron.co.uk, msds365.sevron.co.uk, safety365.sevron.co.uk and any successor URLS, mobile or localized versions and related domains and subdomains) and (b) communications and messaging products and services ((a) and (b) collectively, “Services”). To keep the Services running safely and smoothly, we need our users to agree not to misuse them. Specifically, you agree not to:

  1. probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any system or network used with the Services;

  5. overwhelm or attempt to overwhelm our infrastructure by imposing an unreasonably large load on the Services that consume extraordinary resources, such as by: (i) using “robots,” “spiders,” “offline readers” or other automated systems to send more request messages to our servers than a human could reasonably send in the same period of time using a normal browser; or (ii) going far beyond the use parameters for any given Service as described in its corresponding documentation;

  6. solicit any users of our Services for commercial purposes;

  7. use the Services to generate or send unsolicited communications, advertising or spam, or otherwise cause Sevron to become impaired in its ability to send communications on its own or on its customers’ behalf (e.g., by causing Sevron to become registered on any Email DNS blacklist or otherwise be denied services by any other third party communications service provider);

  8. misrepresent yourself or disguise the origin of any data, content or other information you submit (including by “spoofing”, “phishing”, manipulating headers or other identifiers, impersonating anyone else, or falsely implying any sponsorship or association with Sevron or any third party) or access the Services via another user’s account without their permission;

  9. use the Services for any illegal purpose or in violation of any laws (including without limitation data, privacy and export control laws);

  10. use the Services to violate the privacy of others, or to collect or gather other users’ personal information (including account information) from our Services;

  11. use the Services to stalk, harass, bully or post threats of violence against others;

  12. submit (or post, upload, share or otherwise provide) data, content or other information that (i) infringes Sevron’s or a third party’s intellectual property, privacy or other rights or that you don’t have the right to submit (including confidential or personal information you are not authorized to disclose); (ii) that is deceptive, fraudulent, illegal, obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening, harmful to minors, pornographic, indecent, harassing, hateful, religiously, racially or ethnically offensive, that encourages illegal or tortious conduct or that is otherwise inappropriate in Sevron’s discretion; (iii) contains viruses, bots, worms, scripting exploits or other similar materials; or (iv) that could otherwise cause damage to Sevron or any third party;

  13. promote or advertise products or services other than your own without appropriate authorization;

  14. use meta tags or any other “hidden text” including Sevron’s or our suppliers’ product names or trademarks; or

  15. permit or encourage anyone else to commit any of the actions above.

Without affecting any other remedies available to us, Sevron may permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend a user’s account or access to the Services without notice or liability if Sevron (in its sole discretion) determines that a user has violated this Acceptable Use Policy.
