SMS Linker undertakes to proceed with the processing of such personal data in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable in the countries of its own users accessing the smslinker.com website, including in particular the European General Regulation on Data Protection, which states "RGPD" or "GPDR".


GRDP - Password change policy


To protect your information, it is necessary to choose and use strong passwords, that is to say difficult to find using automated tools and to guess by a third person.

Thus, SMS Linker has set up a password policy that best protects the security of its users' information.

Here are our recommendations:

 - Use a unique password for each account. In particular, the use of the same password between two accounts of the same company will not be authorized by the smslinker.com platform;

- Choose a password that is unrelated to you (password consisting of a company name, date of birth, etc.);

- Never ask a third party to generate a password for you;

- Systematically change the default passwords at the earliest when systems contain them;

- Renew your passwords with a reasonable frequency. Every 90 days is a good compromise for systems containing sensitive data;

- Do not store passwords in a file on a computer station particularly exposed to risk (example: online on the Internet), much less on an easily accessible paper;

- Do not send your own passwords to your personal email;

- Configure software, including your web browser, so that they do not "remember" the chosen passwords.

- The robustness of a password usually depends first of all on its complexity. Thus, at SMS Linker we have chosen to accept only passwords of 8 characters minimum. We advise you to choose only passwords of different types (capital letters, lowercase letters, numbers, special characters).

Finally, SMS Linker has defined a period of 1 year beyond which your password will have to be changed. Thus, you will receive a password change email 2 weeks before its expiration date. Once your password expires, our platform will send you to a password change link. Otherwise, you will not be able to access our services.

-    Finally, if you want your directory to be imported only when you send your SMS campaign, you can activate the "Temporary" option at the time of import. Thus, your directory will be kept only during the sending then deleted once your SMS campaign sent.


GRDP - Inactive customer account erasure policy

SMS Linker has implemented a policy of inactive customer accounts in order to better protect the security of its users' information.

Here is our policy and our recommendations:
