5. Security of Your Data

We take the security of your personal data very seriously and employ industry-standard measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security measures include, but are not limited to:

Additionally, internal access to personal data is strictly limited to those employees who require it for their job functions. We implement robust authentication and logging procedures to monitor access.
• Technical Safeguards: Our servers are housed in secure data centers with modern security technologies including firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regular vulnerability assessments. We also perform regular backups and monitor our systems to ensure ongoing data integrity and security.

While no method of data transmission or electronic storage is entirely secure, we continually update our security practices to protect your personal data as effectively as possible.
