# 4. Encryption

### HubSpot and ERP Bridge API

The connection between the ERP Bridge agent and HubSpot API is secured by using an encrypted HTTPS connection with a trusted SSL certificate.

The same thing is valid for the connection between the ERP Bridge agent and the ERP Bridge API hosted by us.

Both the connections are secured by trusted certificates that maintain data encrypted using AES 256-bit encryption.

### Database connection

The connection between the customer database and the ERP Bridge agent is performed using official supported and first party libraries.

The ERP Bridge software support both encrypted and unencrypted connections with the database so it's up to the customer to setup and use one or another.

### Data Storage

We do not store your data. ERP Bridge is not a middle layer. It provides direct sync between your ERP and HubSpot.

We just retained your logs for 3 days for support pourposes.
