4. Security Architecture and Data Isolation Commitments
Hemidi applies advanced technological measures to safeguard data:
- Data Encryption: All data transmitted between the Customer’s device and Selling Sync servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3. Data stored in databases is encrypted using AES-256.

- With e-commerce platforms through direct API connections initiated by the Customer.
In response to written requests from governmental regulatory authorities, investigative authorities, or courts, in accordance with Vietnamese law.
Due to the nature of software supporting cross-border e-commerce operations, such as selling on Amazon in the United States and Europe, data may be processed on secure servers located outside Vietnam. Hemidi fully complies with the procedures for conducting personal data cross-border transfer impact assessments under Decree No. 13/2023/ND-CP.
Identity Verification Data Sharing: To complete the verification process, Selling Sync establishes secure application programming interface (API) data exchanges with the electronic identity system managed by the Ministry of Public Security or its legally authorized entities to validate user records.
