Service Providers
Third-party service providers who access your information are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and can only use data for specified purposes. They include payment processors, cloud hosting providers, and email service platforms.
Data Security and Protection
We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your information:
- Encryption: All data transmission uses SSL/TLS encryption, and sensitive data is encrypted at rest
- Access controls: Strict employee access limitations with regular security training
- Regular audits: Quarterly security assessments and vulnerability testing
- Secure infrastructure: Industry-standard data centres with 24/7 monitoring
- Backup systems: Regular encrypted backups stored in geographically separate locations
While we use reasonable security measures, no system is completely secure. We encourage users to use strong passwords and report any suspicious activity immediately.
