5. Data Security

We take the security of your personal information seriously and have implemented a comprehensive suite of safeguards designed to protect your data against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. These safeguards include:

• Administrative Measures: Limited access to personal data is granted only to authorized personnel who need the information to perform their job duties. We maintain internal policies governing data handling and regularly train staff on privacy and security best practices.
• Technical Measures: We use industry-standard encryption protocols (such as HTTPS and TLS) to protect data in transit. Firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and access controls help protect our servers and infrastructure.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. As such, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach, we will take all reasonable steps to mitigate the impact and notify affected users as required by applicable laws and regulations.
