Technical Support

In the event you require technical support from eKeypad it may be necessary to provide additional personal and private information about yourself and the equipment you have installer.

If replicating a complex issue on internal eKeypad equipment is not possible, temporary access to your equipment may be necessary. We have put in place several technical support procedures and application functions to help safeguard and protect your information while on route.

• Temporary Credentials
  Before sharing any information with eKeypad technical support about your equipment, we advise creating temporary logins and user codes. This allows you to retain active control of your equipment and the ability to remove our access to your equipment quickly and easily.
  
• Backup Files
  For equipment configuration data, our mobile applications may offer the functionality to create and restore configuration backup files. We advise using this functionality if available. This method uses encryption to protect your private information during transport.
  
• Communication Methods
  We may request that certain information be sent using a different method than other data for the same request. For example, emailing a username but sharing the passcode verbally on a phone call. This separation of information protects your important data from interception while in transport to or from us.

If you do not use the guidelines we provide to you during a technical support session, we will be unable to make representations about the security of any information or data you send. You will do so at your own risk.

During the execution of technical support services eKeypad will also use the following policies around the access and use of your information:

• Remote Access
  We will only access your equipment in the way and time you specify. Unless we have your explicit consent, we will never connect, monitor or control your equipment.
  
• Supervision
  Any time we connect to your equipment, you or a representative you have designated must be present on site to monitor our actions unless you have given us explicit permission to do so unsupervised.
  
• Data Logging
  As a result of the normal process of troubleshooting issues we will collect various types of data about your equipment in logs. This information will not be retained past the resolution of the issue.
  
• Configuration Changes
  You, or representative you designate, will be required to make any and all necessary configuration changes to your equipment. The eKeypad technical support personnel will NOT be able to make configuration changes to your equipment.

Upon resolution of the technical support issue eKeypad will immediately make a good faith effort to purge all equipment details and backup files from our possession. This includes, but is not limited to the following eKeypad equipment: (a) mobile devices, (b) computers, (c) server logs, (d) SMS history, and (d) email systems.
