How to improve your data collection: Encryption, Standardization, Compliance

Introducing Privateform: An end-to-end encrypted data collection service that helps you secure clients’ data and comply with privacy regulations

Have you ever tried to find a way to automate your data collection process?
What about automating it in a secure and compliant way?

We’ve all been there, manually copying and pasting data from multiple sources into our database. You could be using emails or other online forms but the end result is the same — disparate data hard to track and access later, not to mention weak or no security.

Why do you still use unsecure options, like email, to collect clients’ data?

What you need is an efficient and secure way to collect and manage confidential data. Privateform offers a simple and intuitive service to collect and access sensitive information using a military-grade end-to-end encryption protocol, all while complying with GDPR and CCPA.

What are some of the problems with your manual process?

Data collection is time-consuming. Collecting clients’ data or documents and then sharing them with multiple stakeholders is a cumbersome process that creates inefficiencies and wastes resource time.

Manual data collection is inefficient. Automating your data collection processes means you can ensure you have all the information required to provide the top service your clients’ want. With Privateform, you can reduce costs, save time and improve the quality of collected data.

Last but not least, manual data collection increases the risk of data breach. by automating and centralizing your process, you ensure that all data collected follow the same data protection standards, all while complying with strict government regulations. Moreover, you can also easily increase customer satisfaction by offering privacy for their information and allowing access to their data in near real-time.
