Secure Hosting: We use a paid and reliable hosting service that offers advanced security features and protection against cyber threats.
SSL encryption: All data traffic between your device and our website is protected by SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption. This means that your information is encrypted during transmission, making it extremely difficult for third parties to intercept or access your data.
Regular Updates: We keep our systems and software constantly updated to ensure that we are protected against the latest security vulnerabilities.
Restricted Access: Access to user data is strictly limited to authorized members of our team who need this information to perform their duties.
Continuous Monitoring: We carry out constant monitoring of our infrastructure in order to detect and respond quickly to any suspicious activities or attempted security breaches.
Secure Backup: We carry out regular data backups, stored securely and encrypted, to guarantee recovery in the event of any incident.
Strong Password Policy: We have implemented policies that require the use of strong passwords and encourage the use of two-factor authentication when available.

We are committed to keeping your data safe and regularly update our security practices to keep up with industry best practices and applicable data protection regulations.
