SECURITY AND PRIVACY
Basic security is applied to access to the service using a user name and password. The service uses the HTTPS encryption security protocol to prevent sensitive information being obtained by an unauthorized third party. If you try to register a terminal with a phone number that is already registered, the service will not let you continue.
Authentication Users of Satway Pro mobile application are authenticated using Digits from Twitter, a service used to ensure that the user’s phone number is valid: https://get.digits.com/. An application user without a valid phone number won’t be able to send messages using the gateway. The user’s e-mail address is also required. The communication between the apps and the servers is resolved using the OAUTH authentication protocol, ensuring user passwords aren’t shared or saved.
Authorization Only the valid users of the Satway Pro mobile app can use the Satway servers to send messages. Messages sent without the valid OAUTH tokens are discarded, so the server cannot be used as a spam relay to send messages to satphone users.
Secure communication: HTTPS Communication is secured between apps and servers using encrypted information transport.
Gateway security Security related to Inmarsat, Iridium and Thuraya gateway usage. Every satellite operator has its own security firewall to protect their network from cyber and spam attacks.
IP logging and debugging information Gateway usage is logged in rolling appended files, providing detailed information about usage. Logging also includes the IP of the application client.
Account Usage Statistics The Satway Pro solution gathers usage statistics from users, providing information to detect abuse of the service, including the messages sent to satellite phones using gateways.
All servers needed for the operations Satway Pro service are located in Germany and the UK (European Community). Some auxiliary servers may be hosted abroad for capacity and redundancy reasons.
The Satway Pro concept is to keep data to a minimum time as far as possible. For this reason, data information such as text and voice messages to the contacts or group chats are stored in a decentralized way on user devices, instead of on a Satway Pro server. Our servers assume the role of a switch: messages and data get forwarded, but not permanently stored. However, below we explain what kind of data we store, and for how long.
Messages: When a message has been successfully delivered to the recipient, it is deleted from the server. This operation is executed after 14 days.
Geolocations; We keep these for 180 days for security & rescue purposes.
