Security Standards at a Glance
Power eCard relies on modern security practices and GDPR-compliant processes to ensure that your data – and the data of your recipients – is always protected.
Hosting in Germany
All data is stored exclusively in ISO-certified data centers located in Germany. This means your data is handled according to strict European and German data protection laws – recognized as some of the most robust standards worldwide.
Encryption
All data transfers are encrypted via TLS/SSL. Sensitive information, such as recipient data, is also stored in encrypted form. This ensures that your information is secure both in transit and at rest.
Access Rights
A role-based access control system allows administrators to define exactly which user groups can view or edit specific information. This guarantees that only authorized users can access personal data.
Data Minimization
Power eCard only stores the data strictly necessary for sending and managing your eCards. No unnecessary information is collected. This not only reduces storage needs but also minimizes potential privacy risks.
GDPR Compliance
All processes are fully aligned with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including:
- Transparent processing – You always know what data is stored and why.
- Right of access – Recipients can request to see their stored data at any time.
- Right of erasure – Upon request, personal data can be fully deleted so it is no longer processed or retained.
Deletion Concepts in Your Power eCard Account
To keep your account GDPR-compliant and avoid storing outdated or unnecessary data, Power eCard allows you to define automatic deletion rules.
Benefits for you:
- Maintain full control over which data is stored.
- Ensure inactive or outdated information is automatically removed.
- Reduce storage load and minimize data protection risks.
You can find these options in your account under:

Deletion Concept User Data
When enabled, inactive user accounts are automatically and permanently deleted after the defined period of inactivity – including address book entries and personal data.
You can configure:
- Automatic deletion – Enable or disable
- Timeframe for Inactivity – e.g., delete after 180 days
- User notification – Users are informed via email before deletion (e.g., 7 days prior)
- User notification email message – You can customize notification texts in both German and English
Deletion Concept Mailing Data
In addition to user data, you can also automatically delete sent mailings after a defined period.
You can configure:
- Automatic deletion – Enable or disable
- Timeframe for Deletion – e.g., 90 days after sending
Once the period has expired, all eCard links lose validity and recipients can no longer access the cards.
