How Backblaze Helps Meet Compliance Goals in the Cloud

Backblaze works closely with leading third-party organizations to address security and privacy requirements.

Adding Backblaze to our infrastructure allowed us to satisfy our insurance carrier’s requirements. We could prove that we’re maintaining immutable backups on third-party servers located across the country that comply with industry standards for data security.

What personal information does Backblaze collect?

Backblaze collects two different types of data from our customers, Personal Identifiable Information (PII) and personal files. PII, also referred to as Personal Information, is covered under CCPA/CPRA and GDPR. This is the information we collect from you to provide you with the Backblaze service you are using. Personal files are those files that are backed up or uploaded to our servers. These files do not fall under CCPA/CPRA or GDPR, however, your personal files are kept private and/or encrypted (depending on which service you are using), and is not accessed or shared by Backblaze, unless you explicitly tell us to do so, for example, to download a file or share a link to a file.

What does CCPA/CPRA mean to me?

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) means that California residents have the right to know what personal information is being collected, used, shared, or sold by companies, whether the company is an online-only company or not. Backblaze believes that data privacy is important to all of our customers and under no circumstances do we rent, trade, or sell your address or e-mail address with any other company for their marketing purposes without your consent. This regulation does pertain specifically to California residents, but Backblaze will apply the regulations to all customers to the best of our ability while abiding with the rules, regulations, and laws imposed by other jurisdictions.  

In addition, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) gives the right to correct inaccurate personal information as well as the right to limit use and disclosure of sensitive personal information. The CPRA expands the right-to-know including personal information that can be shared by Backblaze and expands the opt-out right to encompass the sharing of personal information.
