Security at Sqribble
Your data security and privacy are our top priorities
Our Commitment to Security
At Sqribble, we understand that when you use our lost and found system, you're trusting us with your personal information. We take this responsibility seriously and have implemented bank-level security measures to protect your data. Our approach to security is comprehensive, covering everything from application design to operational practices.
Application Security
Data Privacy by Design
Our QR code system is designed with privacy at its core. When someone scans an item's QR code, they don't see any personal information about the owner. Instead, they're shown a secure interface to report the found item and its location.
Secure Authentication
We use industry-standard authentication protocols, including OAuth integration with Google, to verify user identities. Our password policies enforce strong password requirements, and all authentication credentials are encrypted.
Role-Based Access Control
Different user types (parents, school administrators) have carefully defined access levels. This ensures users can only access the information they need and are authorized to view.
Data Protection
Encryption
All data in our system is encrypted both in transit and at rest. We use TLS/SSL encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers, and industry-standard AES-256 encryption for data stored in our databases.
Minimal Data Collection
We follow the principle of data minimization, collecting only the information necessary to provide our service. Contact information is used exclusively for lost item notifications and is never shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
Secure Communication
When an item is found, our system facilitates secure communication between the finder and the owner without exposing personal contact details, protecting everyone's privacy.
Infrastructure Security
Cloud Security
Our application is hosted on secure cloud infrastructure with built-in protection against DDoS attacks, intrusion detection, and continuous monitoring for suspicious activities.
Regular Backups
We perform regular automated backups of all data, ensuring that information can be recovered in case of any system failures without compromising security.
Network Security
Our infrastructure employs multiple layers of network security, including firewalls and network segmentation, to prevent unauthorized access to our systems and your data.
Operational Security
Security Testing
We conduct regular security testing, including vulnerability scanning and penetration testing, to identify and address potential security issues before they can be exploited.
Security Updates
Our systems are kept up-to-date with the latest security patches and updates to protect against emerging threats and vulnerabilities.

All Sqribble team members undergo regular security awareness training to ensure they understand and follow secure handling procedures for customer data.
