  • Access Control: Access to customer data within project management tools (Teamwork/Google Drive) is restricted to authorized engineers and support staff via Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

For transfers from the EEA/UK to Canada, we rely on Canada's Adequacy Decision. For transfers to the USA or Philippines, PDF Pro utilizes Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to ensure a level of protection equivalent to the GDPR.
