– Encryption of data in transit and at rest
– Strict access control protocols
– Physical and logical security of our systems
– Role-based access with employee training on confidentiality and data handling
– Routine system audits and backups to ensure data resilience
Despite these safeguards, no system is entirely impervious to security threats, and we encourage users to exercise caution when submitting personal information.
7. International Transfers
In certain circumstances, your data may be transferred outside your jurisdiction, including to data processors or third parties located in countries not deemed to offer an equivalent level of data protection. Where such transfers occur, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or reliance on adequacy decisions, where applicable.
