# How does Bold handle data security for the Bold Connect?
## Ensuring the security of your data is our top priority, and the Bold Connect is designed with robust measures to protect it. We apply the same rigorous security protocols used for Bold Smart Locks to the Bold Connect, prioritizing user safety.
#### Wi-Fi Settings
When you connect your Bold Connect to the internet via Wi-Fi, it is important to know that personal data such as Wi-Fi passwords and network settings are stored locally on the device. This information is never transmitted to Bold's servers, ensuring that your data remains private and secure.
#### Independent Network Communication
The communication between the Bold Connect and Bold Smart Lock is facilitated by an MQTT broker, which is secured using X.509 certificates. This approach combines a personalized platform with internationally recognized verification standards, guaranteeing that you can securely access your devices at all times.
For a more detailed description of how we handle digital security at Bold, you can find additional information [here](https://knowledgebase.boldsmartlock.com/en/knowledge/what-about-digital-security?hsLang=en).
By implementing these measures, Bold ensures that the data security of the Bold Connect is always maintained, offering you peace of mind as you manage your smart devices.
