Every January during Data Privacy Week, businesses in the tech industry and their vast number of consumers are reminded just how crucial data privacy and security are. Since Glances integrates all your favorite SaaS applications and shows live data insights in one place, protecting all of that data is paramount. Follow along as we highlight this special week and the 5 major ways Glances keeps data from your connected apps safe.
Glances data protection practices
1. We follow the highest data standards
Glances keeps data from all of your connected applications protected and in accordance with the highest standards, like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA).
2. We don't sync or store
Glances shows your data securely without the need to sync, save, or store it. It pulls information directly from your multiple apps and organizes it in a single view.
3. We encrypt, heavily
Only the minimally-required info to connect to your apps is needed, which is encrypted and safely stored. All Glances communications are done over SSL using RSA certificates with secure 2048-bit keys.
4. We don't move data
Instead, data is displayed in real time only when needed, without being stored. This allows us to keep the personally-identifying data we do collect to a bare minimum.
5. We specialize in data security
Our co-founders are developers and data security experts, having created and worked on software integrations for CRM systems and popular platforms for over 15 years.

Why care about Data Privacy Week?
Data Privacy Week drives global awareness about data privacy and data protection every January. While every professional has a role to play when it comes to data protection, this week encourages us all to take a moment to reflect on the importance of safeguarding both our personal data and customers’ data as a top priority. From using secure passwords to protecting confidential information, taking time to elevate data privacy methods can make all the difference when it comes working securely online and protecting your business.
How data privacy has changed with the rise of SaaS
In the early days of SaaS technology, data privacy was not a huge concern for businesses. As SaaS apps became more popular and their usage expanded to include enterprise business apps and CRM platforms where more sensitive customer data lived, the debate over data privacy surged. Now it seems we can't move an inch without hearing an opinion on the topic in the news or from industry experts. SaaS technology has provided us with some amazing tools to store, collect, and analyze information according to our needs, but if businesses aren’t managing their data safely and securely, then its value is greatly diminished.
Overall, we must stay vigilant in our efforts to protect confidential customer information, as it can be all too easy to forget about the risks posed by unauthorized access to sensitive data. At Glances and for all tech-forward businesses, Data Privacy Week serves as an essential reminder about how to best keep our users safe online.
