and all pricing terms fall under Fexo Confidential Information. The receiving party must
maintain
confidentiality, not disclose to third parties without written consent, and use the
information
internally
for agreed-upon purposes. Exceptions include information publicly available without breach,

Fexo
places utmost
importance on safeguarding customer data. This security policy outlines the organizational
and
technical
measures implemented on Fexo Websites to prevent unauthorized access, use, alteration, or
disclosure of
customer data. Unless specified otherwise, this policy pertains to Fexo activities within
its
instance on
Amazon Web Services ("AWS"), Microsoft 365 and Azure (“MS”) and Google Play Services
(“Google”).
It is
recommended to review our Terms of Service
and Privacy Policy for a
comprehensive
understanding of Fexo practices.
Security Team
Our dedicated infrastructure
and
security team
comprises individuals with significant experience in designing, building, and operating
highly
secure
internet-facing systems across geographies and companies of varied sizes.
1. Best Practices
- Incident Response Plan
Fexo has instituted a formal procedure for security events, with all staff members educated on our policies. Detected security events are escalated to our emergency alias, triggering prompt response and resolution. Post-event, a comprehensive post-mortem analysis is conducted, reviewed across the company, and includes action items for future prevention.
Fexo commits to notifying you promptly in writing upon verifying a security breach affecting your data. Further details about our incident response plan are available here. - Build Process Automation
Functional and frequently used automation is in place for secure and reliable changes to our application and operating platform within minutes. With multiple code deployments daily, we ensure rapid deployment of security fixes when necessary.
2. Infrastructure
All Fexo services operate in the cloud, with no proprietary routers, load balancers, DNS servers, or physical servers. Hosted on AWS, MS and Google facilities, our services and data benefit from the security protocols of the respective cloud infrastructure provider. The details are mentioned on the appropriate websites of AWS, MS and Google. Disaster recovery considerations have been integral to our service architecture.
Our servers reside within a dedicated virtual private cloud (VPC) with network access control lists (ACLs) preventing unauthorized access to our internal network. Fexo employs backup solutions for datastores containing customer data.
3. Data
All customer data is stored in India within multi-tenant datastores. While individual datastores per customer are not maintained, robust privacy controls in our application code ensure data separation, with regular unit and integration tests validating their effectiveness. The configuration and patching of systems processing customer data align with industry-recognized hardening standards.
Certain subprocessors are engaged for processing customer data, listed here, subject to updates by Fexo.
4. Data Transfer
All data transmitted to or from the Fexo Website is encrypted in transit using 256-bit encryption. Our API and application endpoints operate exclusively on TLS/SSL, earning an "A+" rating on SSL Labs' tests. Additionally, industry-standard AES-256 encryption secures data at rest.
5. Authentication
Fexo is served entirely over HTTPS, with no corporate resources or additional privileges from being on Fexo's network. Two-factor authentication (2FA) and robust password policies on AWS, MS and Google enhance access protection to cloud services.
6. Permissions and Admin Controls
Fexo offers configurable permission levels for employees to access the Fexo Website, covering app settings, billing, user data, and messaging capabilities.
7. Security Audits and Certifications
Bi-annual engagements with third-party auditors assess our codebase, with SOC 2 Type II compliance and an attested SOC 2 Type II report. Information on AWS, MS and Google security certifications are accessible at their respective security websites.
All payment instrument processing is handled by Stripe, adhering to their security practices as mentioned on their website.
8. Customer Responsibilities
Customers are responsible for managing their user accounts and roles within Fexo Websites, ensuring account and credential protection through 2FA. Compliance with service agreements, including legal requirements, is imperative. Prompt notification to Fexo is essential in cases of compromised credentials or suspected security threats affecting services or accounts. Security penetration tests or assessments require Fexo' express advance written consent.

This
Support Policy is
to be read in conjunction with the Orders mentioned in the Terms of Service, and is
available to you (“Customer”) upon acceptance of the Order.
Capitalized terms used in
this SLA that
are not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Terms of Use
(“Agreement”).
Fexo will
use reasonable efforts to make the Service available with an uptime of 99.5% of each
calendar
month ("Target
Availability").
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 the Agreement or
the
applicable
Documentation; (b) general Internet problems, force majeure events or other factors outside
of
Fexo's
reasonable control; (c) Customer's equipment, software, network connections or other
infrastructure; (d)
Subprocessors’ acts or omissions; or (e) Scheduled Maintenance or reasonable emergency
maintenance.
Scheduled Maintenance. "Scheduled Maintenance" means Fexo's scheduled
routine
maintenance of the Services for which Fexo shall notify you at least twenty-four (24) hours
in
advance.
Scheduled Maintenance will not exceed eight (8) hours per month. Fexo typically performs
Scheduled
Maintenance once per month.
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 Order by sending written notice of termination within thirty (30) days after
the
end of the
second such month. In such a case, Fexo will refund to the Customer, fees that the Customer
would have
prepaid for use of such Service for the terminated portion of the applicable Order. This
termination and
refund right is Customer's sole and exclusive remedy, and Fexo's sole and exclusive
liability,
for Fexo's
failure to meet the Target Availability for the Service.
