3. Data Protection and Security

The security of your personal information is important to us. We implement a variety of technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your data from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption of sensitive data (e.g., during transmission using SSL/TLS).
• Regular security assessments and vulnerability scanning.
• Access controls to personal information limited to authorized employees, contractors, and agents who need to know that information to operate, develop, or improve our service.
• Secure storage on servers provided by reputable cloud service providers.

Despite our safeguards, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
