Data storage and processing

Data is stored and processed on Google App Engine. 
The following are excerpts from the Google Cloud Platform Terms of Service.

All facilities used to store and process an Application and Customer Data will adhere to reasonable security standards no less protective than the security standards at facilities where Google processes and stores its own information of a similar type. Google has implemented at least industry standard systems and procedures to ensure the security and confidentiality of an Application and Customer Data, protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of an Application and Customer Data, and protect against unauthorized access to or use of an Application and Customer Data. Google may process and store an Application and Customer Data in the United States or any other country in which Google or its agents maintain facilities.  By using the Services, Customer consents to this processing and storage of an Application and Customer Data. The parties agree that Google is merely a data processor.

Privacy. Customer will protect the privacy and legal rights of its End Users under all applicable laws and regulations, which includes a legally adequate privacy notice communicated from Customer. Customer may have the ability to access, monitor, use, or disclose Customer Data submitted by End Users through the Services. Customer will obtain and maintain any required consents from End Users to allow Customer’s access, monitoring, use and disclosure of Customer Data. Further, Customer will notify its End Users that any Customer Data provided as part of the Services will be made available to a third party (i.e. Google) as part of Google providing the Services.

  • You, the Set YOUR own TESTS customer are considered an "End User" in the Google agreement
  • Set YOUR own TESTS is the "Customer" in the Google agreement
  • Google may store and process your data anywhere that Google has facilities. This can and probably will be outside the EU. Google is in compliance with the US Safe Harbor Framework and as such agrees to comply with EU standards of data processing and security but does not limit the processing and storage of EU based companies to EU processing and storage facilities.
  • You are hereby notified that a third party (Google) processes your data and data is made available to them to provide the service. Acceptance of the terms and conditions on set-your-own-tests.appspot.com when you sign-in or register is acknowledgement of your awareness of this notification.
