FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
GENERAL
Security
The board saves data to a cloud-based service. Isn't the cloud a
scary place where people can steal data?
SMART helps protect your sensitive information in the kappboard.com cloud service by using
only encrypted communication protocols (HTTPS) and removes it as soon as you stop sharing.
These measures are in addition to industry-standard security best practices.
What prevents someone from intercepting content from a board?
When a user connects to a board, a connection icon indicates that a device is connected. Only
one mobile device can connect to a board at a time. The board uses only encrypted protocols
to communicate over Bluetooth (in addition to what Bluetooth itself provides), effectively
reducing the risk of data interception in the air.
After I erase ink on the board, can someone connect a mobile
device and see information I've already erased?
When you erase ink on the board's surface, the ink is permanently removed from the board's
memory. Only the remaining ink that's visible on the board is synchronized with connected
mobile devices.
