Privacy & Integration
Privacy, Security & Integration
Your privacy and the security of your data is important to us. Journalytix is a cloud based system with an integration layer that transports your trade data to the cloud. There’s a number of options for configuring the system:
- Journalytix Cloud Server – your data is encrypted & stored securely on our cloud servers hosted on Amazon AWS.
- Your Cloud Server – we’ll set up a server for you on Amazon AWS and then hand all control/passwords to you. If we need to get in for support, you can temporarily give us access.
- Your Back-Office Server – we’ll install the software on a server of your choice, which you will run and we’ll support on demand.
For the integration layer, we have the option of server or trading platform integration. Most firms have a mixture of both. For example, you might have server based TT Rest integration for your team but on the recruitment side, have traders being trialed hooking in via their home trading platforms.
