We employ industry-standard security practices including:
- Encryption in transit (TLS 1.2 or higher)
- Encryption at rest for all stored user data
- Passwords hashed using a modern one-way algorithm

No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure. In the event of a breach affecting your personal data we will notify you as required by applicable law.
