• Encryption of sensitive data both in transit and at rest
• Regular security audits and assessments
• Access controls and authentication mechanisms

While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
