Security & Data Protection

How Trackberry protects your data, including encryption, backups, and data residency.

2 min read

Data Security

Trackberry is designed with security at every level:

  • Encryption in transit — All connections use TLS/SSL encryption
  • Encryption at rest — All stored data and backups are encrypted
  • Passwordless authentication — No passwords to steal or leak; secure magic links only
  • Role-based access — Granular permissions (owner, admin, member) control what users can see and do
  • Virus scanning — Every uploaded file is scanned for malware before processing

Data Residency

All data is stored in the European Union:

  • Files (packing lists, documents, certificates) are stored on Hetzner Object Storage in Germany
  • Database is hosted on a dedicated server in the EU
  • Backups are stored on Hetzner Object Storage in Germany

This ensures compliance with EU data protection regulations (GDPR).

Backups

Trackberry runs automated daily backups to protect your data:

  • Database backups run every day at 3:00 AM UTC
  • Backups are encrypted using AES-256 encryption before being stored
  • Redundant storage — all uploaded documents are stored on both local disk and cloud object storage during the migration period

Retention Policy

Backup type Frequency Retained for
Daily Every day 30 days
Weekly Every Sunday 12 weeks
Monthly 1st of each month 6 months

Automated Monitoring

Backup integrity is verified automatically every day. If a backup is missing or appears corrupted, our team is alerted immediately.

File Storage

All documents you upload to Trackberry — packing lists, quality certificates, invoices, and other files — are stored securely on Hetzner Object Storage, an S3-compatible cloud storage service hosted in Germany.

Files are stored redundantly and are available for download at any time from your shipment pages.

Data Export

You can download any document you've uploaded directly from the shipment detail page. If you need a bulk export of your data, please contact our support team at support@trackberry.ag.
