Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

  • Encryption of data in transit using secure socket layer (SSL) technology
  • Secure storage of personal information on protected servers
  • Regular security assessments and updates to our systems
  • Access controls limiting who can view personal information
  • Staff training on data protection and privacy practices

While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information, but we are committed to maintaining appropriate safeguards and promptly addressing any security incidents.

International Data Transfers

Your personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the country in which you reside. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country. However, we will take steps to ensure that your personal information receives an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which we process it.

When we transfer personal information from the European Economic Area (EEA) to countries that have not been deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection, we use appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.
