How do we protect your information?

We use a dedicated server infrastructure to allow more people in conversation and better stability.  Your stream will be sent through video router servers which transmit it to the other participants in the call and also transmit their streams to you.  Streams will always be encrypted (AES-128 or AES-256 algorithm) in transit but will be decrypted and re-encrypted when passing through the video routers.  We operate on an infrastructure of video routers distributed across the world, and you will be automatically routed to the closest one.  The video router servers and all of our infrastructure adhere to strict security measures, preventing eavesdropping or interruption of the video/audio streams.  

We will never store any audio or video media sent between participants in a Workspace or Event without your consent.  We will never collect or record the content in conversations.  Customers who have access to the “Recording” feature will be able to record meetings, and if a Customer records a meeting, then the Customer is responsible for collecting consents from all participants in the meeting prior to starting the recording.  After downloading the recording from Remo, the Customer also is responsible for storing and processing the recording in compliance with all laws and regulations.

Remo has the ability to make your Event Private by selecting the option in the Event settings followed by entering a list of individuals, with their email addresses, that will be placed in a guest list of individuals.  The Event landing page will be visible to all Users and Customers, but only Users and Customers on the guest list will be allowed to access the Event.  Remo also has the ability to allow the owner of the Event to expel and ban Users from the Event.

You as a User or a Customer are responsible for the content you enter into a Workspace or Event name, and the Content has to be compliant with the Prohibited User Content provisions of Remo’s User Terms of Service.
