Security
Your data security and privacy are our top priorities. We implement industry-leading security measures to protect your information and ensure the reliability of our service.
Infrastructure & Hosting
Kollect is hosted on Vercel, a leading edge network platform built on top of trusted cloud infrastructure. Vercel provides enterprise-grade security, global distribution, and automatic DDoS protection. Our application benefits from Vercel's infrastructure which is built on AWS (Amazon Web Services), leveraging the following industry certifications and compliance standards:
SOC 2 Type II
ISO 27001
GDPR
DDoS Protection
Edge Network
Zero-Downtime
Vercel's infrastructure is distributed across multiple geographic regions, ensuring high availability, low latency, and automatic failover capabilities.
Data Encryption
Encryption at Rest
All form submission data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption, one of the strongest encryption standards available. This ensures that your data remains protected even if physical storage media were to be compromised.
Encryption in Transit
All data transmitted between your users and our servers is protected using TLS 1.2 or greater for end-to-end communication security. This includes:
- All API endpoints and form submissions
- Dashboard and web application access
- Documentation and support resources
Our entire platform, including our website, documentation, blog, and all servers, uses 256-bit SSL certificates and is accessible only via HTTPS.
Form Security
Tamper Protection
Kollect automatically prevents form tampering through browser developer tools and other manipulation attempts. We validate all form submissions server-side to ensure data integrity and prevent malicious modifications.
Spam Protection
Our robust spam protection system blocks over 98.5% of all spam submissions using multiple layers of defense:
- Honeypot Fields: Invisible fields that trap automated bots
- Rate Limiting: Prevents rapid-fire submission attempts
- AI-Based Detection: Machine learning algorithms identify both bot and human spam patterns
- IP Reputation Filtering: Blocks known malicious IP addresses
- Custom Rules: Allow you to create your own spam filters based on content patterns
