4. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures — including TLS encryption in transit, access control, and regular security reviews — to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. Please note, however, that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential.
