The security of your information is important to us. We implement and maintain reasonable administrative, physical, and technical security safeguards to help protect your information from unauthorized access, destruction, loss, alteration, or misuse. These measures include:

  • Encryption: We use encryption technologies to protect data transmission and storage, including SSL/TLS for data in transit and encryption at rest for sensitive information.

  • Secure Infrastructure: Our services are hosted on secure, industry-leading cloud infrastructure with advanced security controls.
  • Employee Training: Our team members receive regular security awareness training and follow strict data handling protocols.

While we strive to protect your information, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data. You play an important role in protecting your information by maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and reporting any suspected unauthorized activity to us immediately.
