How does Microsoft help ensure the privacy of customer data uploaded to the service? How does the Virtual Earth platform help maintain security and privacy?
A. Customer data uploads and other customer service site operations are encrypted using 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connections. All SOAP API calls to the MapPoint Web Service API must present customer-unique credentials, and customers can change their passwords at any time to protect their accounts from unauthorized access. The Virtual Earth data center has a number of systems and processes in place to prevent and deal with security issues. Our systems also run the latest Microsoft operating systems and enterprise servers and are kept current with the most recent security patches.
