Data Protection

Your data, protected by design

We don't sell your data. We don't mine it. We make it easy to export or delete at any time.

Encryption at rest

All data stored on our servers is encrypted using AES-256. Database backups are encrypted before transfer.

EU data residency

All data is stored and processed within the European Union. We never transfer your data outside the EU without your explicit consent.

GDPR data export

Export all your workspace data at any time in JSON format. Right to erasure — delete your account and all associated data permanently.

Data Processing Agreement

A GDPR-compliant DPA is available to all customers (including Free). Covers sub-processors, data breach notifications, and audit rights.

Breach notification

We notify affected customers within 72 hours of discovering a data breach, in line with GDPR Article 33 requirements.

Audit log — Business+

Full audit trail of who did what, when, and from where. Filter by user, action, date range. Exportable for compliance reporting.

Infrastructure

Hardened from the ground up

Our infrastructure is designed with defence in depth — multiple layers of security from network edge to application code.

1

Apache2 + mod_security

Web Application Firewall at the reverse proxy layer. OWASP Core Rule Set enabled. Rate limiting per IP and per token.

2

Fail2ban + ufw firewall

Brute force protection on all auth endpoints. Automatic IP banning after repeated failed attempts. Strict inbound firewall rules.

3

Redis sliding window rate limits

Per-user and per-endpoint rate limiting. WebSocket rate limiting per connection. Protects against abuse and credential stuffing.

EU & GDPR

Built for European teams

Disqua is operated from the EU, with GDPR-aligned processing and the paperwork European companies actually need.

🇪🇺

EU hosting

Production infrastructure runs in EU data centers. Your messages, files and helpdesk tickets are stored and processed in the European Union.

GDPR-aligned, DPA available

Data processing follows GDPR principles, and a Data Processing Agreement is available for your compliance records.

Read the DPA →

Processing transparency

Our privacy policy and DPA describe what data we process, why, and which sub-processors are involved — no guesswork for your DPO.

Ticket translation via DeepL

Helpdesk tickets can be translated per message or per thread via DeepL, so agents can support customers across European languages without leaving the ticket.

Invoices with EU VAT support

Billing supports EU VAT IDs and issues invoices with a proper VAT breakdown, so your finance team gets documents they can actually file.

Have security questions?

Our security team is happy to answer questions from enterprise prospects, answer compliance questionnaires, and provide documentation.
