Annex B
Security Measures
Description of the technical and organizational measures implemented by each party (including any relevant certifications) to ensure an appropriate level of security, taking into account the nature, scope, context and purpose of the processing, and the risks for the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
| Measures of pseudonymisation and encryption of personal data | The Connexity Companies collect only pseudonymized data, which means we do not know who you are because we do not know or process the user’s name, email address, or other identifiable data. User Information that we collect includes, but is not limited to, Information about a User’s device and operating system, IP address, the web pages accessed by Users within our Customers’ websites, the link that led a User to a Customer’s website, the dates and times a User accesses a Customers’ website and other web browsing data. Connexity undertakes the following: User Agent and IP Address are both stored encrypted, and for visitors from regions where regulations require anonymization (e.g. where GDPR is applicable), the User Agent and IP Address are both truncated prior to encryption. Further, Taboola undertakes the following: the CookieID is anonymized using Bcrypt and IP address is truncated. |
| Measures for ensuring ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services | Connexity uses multiple levels of electronic security (ex: endpoint security, server-side security, detections tracking, periodic penetration tests, and deep intelligence gathering to review post-mortem events). |
| Measures for ensuring the ability to restore the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident | Connexity implements the following: ● Availability of Personal Data is ensured by Connexity’s utilization of database replication architectures for redundancy and automatic data backups to multiple regions. ● Systems that track user events are also redundant in multiple regions that support failover so that even a complete outage in one region will not render services unavailable. Taboola maintains 9 data centers operating around the world. Every data center is used as a replication of one another so if one falls down the data can be extracted from other data center. |
| Processes for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures in order to ensure the security of the processing | To monitor appropriate data protection and enforce confidentiality obligations and procedures Connexity has implemented the following protocols: ● Training and sensitization of employees with respect to data protection, information security, confidentiality obligations, and compliance. ● Regular auditing of data processing procedures. ● Integrated notification and processing protocols are in place for data protection violations and the protection of the rights of those affected. Taboola maintains strict processes for testing the effectives of its controls (both technical and organizational). We have system logging and monitoring in place, monthly (at least) DR testing, quarterly penetration tests, Firewalls protecting the web and honeypots spread across the network to find any malicious activity. Moreover, we have bounty program in place which helps us to constantly monit/or our network. |
| Measures for user identification and authorisation | Every user in the Connexity Companies is associated with a dedicated username and password. Every access to the Connexity Companies’ internal network is done with 2FA. Users are created only by the IT department, during the onboarding process and only after receiving all details and signed contract from the HR department. |
| Measures for the protection of data during transmission | Connexity implements the following: ● Any data transmission of personal data is conducted through secure transmission protocols (HTTPS and TLS v1.2 at the minimum). Furthermore, systems which might contain personal data are secured and data is kept hashed and anonymized. ● The transfer of Personal Data to a third party (e.g. customers, sub-contractors, service provider) is only made if a corresponding contract exists, and only for a specific purpose. Connexity provides that an adequate level of data protection exists at the target location or organization in accordance with the EU’s data protection requirements. Taboola supports any data transmission through secure transmission protocols (HTTPS and TLS v1.2 at the minimum). Identifiable data might be CookieID or IP address collected from the user. IP address is truncated and the CookieID is hashed using Bcrypt. |
| Measures for the protection of data during storage | Access rights to Connexity’s network and system are issued via a regulated review and authorization process and granted according to a “need to know basis” protocol. Taboola ensures that data that is stored within our databases is anonymized and hashed using Bcrypt. Access to the DB is minimized and based according to the ‘business need to know’ principle. |
| Measures for ensuring physical security of locations at which personal data are processed | Connexity implements the following: ● Physical security controls in Connexity’s offices, where the processing of Personal Data may take place or data processing systems may be housed, include protection of the premises and its perimeters using various access control measures, including but not limited to: magnetic key-card access to offices and parking facilities for employees, supervised entry to offices during business hours, 24/7/365 on-site security staff and security camera systems. ● Outside of regular business hours elevators to the 4th floor where Connexity’s offices are located are disabled and are not operable without the use of an active magnetic key-card issued to an authorized employee or staff member of the office building. ● Rooms containing data processing systems (servers, network distributors, etc.) are locked and only accessible to authorized employees of the IT Administration or Infrastructure departments. ● Scheduled visitors and vendors from outside the company must sign a guest roster upon arrival at the front desk and state the reason for their visit. Visitors may be on the business premises only when escorted and/or supervised by building security or an employee of Connexity at all times. Each of Taboola’s global data centres (in US, Europe, and Asia), has all its servers located in locked cabinets that are maintained exclusively for Taboola’s use. These cabinets are maintained by companies that are either SOC2-certified or Taboola has reviewed their security measures. Further, any access to the servers requires written, logged permission. All Taboola offices are also controlled, and require employees to use access cards to enter. Furthermore, only a limited number of employees have access to Taboola’s servers and any access also requires written, logged permission. |
| Measures for ensuring events logging | Connexity’s company network access is automatically monitored and logged, including any unsuccessful login attempts. Network access is automatically blocked by the system after 5 failed attempts and may only be reinstated by an authorized IT Administration employee. Taboola implements monitoring tools and logs are gathered to our SIEM system which alerts us on any suspicious event and also being monitored by NOC team. |
| Measures for ensuring system configuration, including default configuration | Connexity implements the following: ● Connexity uses automated configuration management systems to keep all server configurations up to date and running on a standard configuration. The configurations are under change control and must be reviewed prior to deployment. ● Application configurations are likewise under change control and must be reviewed prior to deployment. ● Application changes go through a formal change management and software development lifecycle process, including code review, QA and standardized CI/CD processes. Taboola Servers are scanned for both configuration drift and patch level. Reporting and/or alerting are set on both and relevant patch level is confirmed. New patches are distributed using Puppet. All technical reviews are managed through the R&D application and obtained through a formal process of review (QA) after coding and CI/CD processes are implemented as well. |
| Measures for internal IT and IT security governance and management | Connexity adheres to the security policies defined by its parent company. Taboola is ISO 27001:2013 and 27701 certified. Taboola have an Information Security Policy in place which states that the Board of Directors and management of Taboola are committed to preserving the confidentiality, integrity and availability of all the physical and electronic information assets throughout their organisation. Taboola holds security trainings for all new employees, phishing trainings for all employees globally, and regular security trainings for all employees and also dedicate sessions for R&D groups. |
| Measures for certification/assurance of processes and products | As a subsidiary of a public company, Connexity goes through rigorous SOX audit review on an annual basis. Taboola undergoes Quarterly / Semi-annual / yearly internal audit on multiple processes and systems to validate that Taboola is complying with its security goals and measures defined. |
| Measures for ensuring data minimisation | The Connexity Companies intentionally limit the data that it collects as part of Taboola’s global data minimization principles of processing only the limited data needed for our specific business purposes. Furthermore, the Connexity Companies do not have the ability, nor any business need, to “reverse engineer” any of the data points used in our processing in order to provide our services. More specifically, the data points that the Connexity Companies collect are never indicative of a user’s identity — as the Connexity Companies do not collect or process information such as user’s name, phone number, email, or physical addresses. Instead, the Connexity Companies collect only pseudonymous identifiers, which merely identify characteristics about a user’s device. This includes IP addresses (which are truncated upon collection and can only identify the device’s general zip code location, but never a precise geolocation). Moreover, even when used collectively, the data that we collect can never produce an individual’s name, phone number, email, or physical address, and our engineers do not work in any way to accomplish this goal. Additionally, the Connexity Companies make and record privacy impact assessments in an effort to minimize the privacy risks of our services, processes, and policies. |
| Measures for ensuring data quality | Connexity collects data directly from user events and conducts multiple levels of input validation to ensure that only valid data is stored. We also run automated processes to analyze patterns in event data after the fact so that we can distinguish between events that are the results of automated actors vs. individual human users. For Taboola, the data is collected directly from the user and the user is given the opportunity to correct any data associated with their CookieID via the Taboola Subject Access Request Portal: https://accessrequest.taboola.com/access |
| Measures for ensuring limited data retention | Connexity: Document management practices are observed within all departments of the Company in accordance with Connexity’s Document Retention and Disposal Policy. Taboola retains User Information, which is directly collected for purposes of serving ads, for at most thirteen (13) months from the User’s last interaction with our Services (often for a shorter period of time), after which time we de-identify the data by removing unique identifiers or aggregating the data. This process is done automatically. |
| Measures for ensuring accountability | The Connexity Companies do multiple security audits and penetration testing (but not for all systems). Taboola also uses cloud providers that are ISO-certified and that comply with other cloud-relevant certifications for maintaining a server’s physical safeguards. |
| Measures for allowing data portability and ensuring erasure | Connexity maintains a Data Protection Policy and Document Retention and Disposal Policy. Connexity also maintains formal subject access request procedures whereby data subjects may exercise their rights to access and port any data Connexity holds related to them and the right to erase or delete such data. Taboola takes measures to ensure that media disposal procedures are the same for all kinds of media as they might contain personal data. Any media must be fully wiped before being reused or disposed. Any media disposal is documented and managed by a third party company expert for those processes. Employees are instructed to not print any paper which might contain personal information and to not store any personal information locally on the computer. |
