Data protection: Flip shares everything â except sensitive data
Your employee app brings together the convenience of private messengers and social networks with enterprise-level data protection and IT security. This combination of practicality and protection appeals to companies such as McDonaldâs, Porsche and REWE.
Company data
An employee app that protects data? Of course!
Most employees use Flip on their personal smartphones. However, your company data is better protected with Flip than it is on noticeboards or in newsletters because the employee app lets you manage information in such a way that it is visible only to specific groups. Flip has been specially designed to be used on personal devices, so you can prevent your employees from downloading content from the app.Â

CDPC â commissioned data processing contract
- A commissioned data processing contract governs how we process your data. We would be happy to provide a template CDPC to you.Â
- Our data processors have, in turn, concluded a commissioned data processing contract with us. This ensures that we can protect your data to the greatest possible extent.Â
- We will support you with requests for information, or the correction or deletion of personal data under the requirements of GDPR. Â
TOMs â technical and organisational measures
- We regularly review our technical and organisational measures and adapt these in line with the state of the art.Â
- In order to ensure the security of information at the workplace, we assess risks on an ongoing basis and optimise our protective measures, which include two-factor authentication, firewalls, virus protection and the encryption of data storage devicesÂ

Personal data
We love transparent communication â not transparent users
Employee protection
Less data means more trust
Flip does not access private smartphone data, such as private contacts or media. Flip requires a minimal amount of personal data. The data that is required to use Flip is the userâs first name and surname, user ID (e.g., staff number or email address) and role (admin or user). A user may choose to give optional data, such as an email for resetting their password, their region, their company location, the name of their department, their job title and their telephone number.
IT security
Open communication, encrypted transfer
Flip processes and stores your data in an ISO 27001-certified data centre in Germany that fulfils the requirements of the C5 standard. Data that is transmitted between end devices and the data centre is encrypted in line with the state of the art: TLS 1.3, RSA 2048 Bits/SHA256 with RSA, HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS). In other words: We have independent third parties regularly audit the security of our platform.Â
