We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement multiple layers of protection:

• SSL encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers
• Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments of our systems
• Access controls that limit employee access to personal information on a need-to-know basis
• Secure data storage with reputable hosting providers that meet industry security standards
• Regular backups and disaster recovery procedures to protect against data loss

While we implement strong security measures, no system is completely secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords and keep your account information confidential.
