When a form is used, what happens to the data on that form? This paper will answer that question in multiple ways in relation to how the Quik! App addresses the concerns over:

• data ownership
• transporting data
• ensuring data integrity
• data access and persistence

Efficient Technology Inc (ETI), designed Quik! to enable forms automation at all levels, from a simple form to a complex workflow involving forms. Data security is of the utmost importance to ETI and the Quik! line of products.  This paper does not intend to be a marketing or sales tool to promote ETI’s products but rather to discuss the methods, concepts and options available to secure data on Quik! Forms.

Readers of this white paper should have a basic understanding of forms automation, modern security models and internet-based transportation of data. The technology concepts discussed in this paper do not require a technology background, but will be easier for IT professionals to understand, with the intent of making this topic understandable to all readers.
