In order to transfer your data to Semble from your previous system or from your local
computer, we recommend that you use the Semble Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). An SFTP is a network protocol for securely accessing, transferring and managing large files and sensitive data.
Important to note: Never send data to us by email as this is not a secure method and could be considered as a data breach for us.
