It’s official: The VZ-Networks are the first social network whose quality of software and data security has been rewarded with the TÜV seal of approval. The functionality of our web pages and our data protection have been examined and tested – and certified by TÜV SÜD.
After testing error robustness TÜV SÜD confirmed that all functions of the VZ-Networks perform correctly and as expected. We have ensured that surfing is not only fun, but also safe – you can change your privacy settings easily, report problems, and read information we have provided about security.
Security has the right of way – always! Both our internal handling of user information and the security of this information regarding external attacks were tested. TÜV SÜD certified that we meet their high standards. Especially new members, who are not yet familiar with the site, have default security settings that ensure maximum protection of their information. The data of all users are solely accessible to other persons to the extent as individually defined by the users in their privacy settings. Additionally, we give them a broad range of tips for how they can adapt these individual settings and optimise their use of the network.
Last but not least, the sustainability of our quality control was examined. Quality characteristics should not be compromised by changes to programming. We met the criteria here too and will ensure all future functions are sent to TÜV-SÜD for an annual revision. More infos on the whole topic can be found on our security page.
