Security Measures: We implement industry-standard security practices including:

  • Encrypted data transmission: All data in transit is protected using HTTPS/TLS encryption
  • Encryption at rest: Data stored on our servers is encrypted at rest
  • Secure authentication: OAuth 2.0 protocols with token-based authentication
