Data protection

Cableizer supports the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union and all Cableizer services comply with its provisions. We made sure that all our third-party providers are compliant: Hetzner, Cloudflare, and Stripe.

Cableizer is hosted in the European Union in Helsinki, Finland on the Hetzner data centre hel1-dc2, which is certified according to ISO/IEC 27001:2022. For more details, please refer to the Hetzner Certificates.

No personal data is required for the use of Cableizer or stored on our server. We only store contractual and technical data.

Data security

All traffic to and from our server is protected and secured by encryption by Cloudflare, which is certified according to SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, 27018 and 27701, and PCI DSS 3.2.1. For more details, please refer to the Cloudflare Certificates.

All card payments are handled securely by Stripe. Its privacy practices comply with CBPR and PRP systems, its systems, processes, and controls are regularly audited as part of our SOC 1 and SOC 2 compliance programmes, and they are certified to PCI DSS 4.0 Service Provider Level 1. For more details, please refer to the Stripe Security.

Cableizer does not support single sign-on (SSO). Log in to Cableizer is only possible with username and password. Passwords (as all data) are sent encrypted using HTTPS to our server. Passwords are stored encrypted on our server. As a consequence, lost passwords cannot be restored, but a user can request a password reset link to be sent to his verified email-address.

Anti-Piracy

Cableizer is Software as a Service (SaaS), a cloud-based service where instead of downloading and installing software from your desktop PC or business network to run and update manually, you alternatively enter an application via an internet browser. No downloadable version exists and since access to calculation features depends on a paid subscription, we have no concerns about piracy of our software which might otherwise damage our pricing models.

If you find a website you suspect may be selling or distributing an invalid Cableizer software or which provide illegal shared access to a Cableizer account please help us and others by reporting the seller/provider.

Server status

We changed server on 2025-11-08 to Hetzner because the previous server on DigitalOcean suffered from service degradation with frequent interruptions. Ever since the server runs smoothly with a few short interruptions due to deployments of new software versions.
