Security & Data Protection
How Trackberry protects your data, including encryption, backups, and data residency.
2 min readData 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.
