Security
-
I should open a port on my router for example for MyMusic, is it safe to do this?
The access to the port is necessary to let the plugin on the music server know, that there is a new request waiting at Roomskills. The only information trnsfered via this port is the information about the request. The actual request and answer exchange between the music server and Roomskills happens via a separate secure connection. So we think there is no reason, not to open the port.
-
How is my data stored? Is it safe?
All Smarthome access data is stored encrypted.
-
Are my data stored under EU laws?
