Our commitment to protecting your data is at the core of our services. Your trust is of utmost importance to us, and we are committed to ensuring the security and integrity of your data. We regularly update our security measures to adapt to evolving threats and technologies to safeguard your personal information.

  • We use industry-standard encryption protocols to protect data transmitted between your device and our servers. This includes secure socket layer (SSL) technology, which ensures that your data is encrypted during transmission. Encryption helps prevent eavesdropping and tampering with your information.

  • We store your data in secure environments, both physically and electronically. Our data centres and cloud service providers adhere to stringent security standards to prevent data breaches, including physical access controls and advanced intrusion detection systems.
  • We regularly conduct security audits and assessments to identify and address potential vulnerabilities. Our security team continuously monitors our systems and infrastructure for potential threats and vulnerabilities, and they respond promptly to mitigate any security risks.
  • We require strong user authentication to ensure that only authorised users can access certain features and functionalities. This may include multi-factor authentication (MFA) to provide an extra layer of security for your account.
  • In the event of a data breach or security incident, we have established incident response procedures to minimise any potential harm. We will notify affected users as required by applicable laws and take swift action to rectify the situation.
  • We regularly back up your data to ensure its integrity and availability. In the event of data loss due to unforeseen circumstances, we have mechanisms in place to recover and restore your information.
  • We work with third-party service providers and partners who also adhere to strict security measures. Before engaging with such partners, we assess their security practices to ensure the safety of your data.
  • While we are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of data security, it's important to note that no method of data transmission or storage is entirely risk-free. Although we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. By using our services, you acknowledge and accept these inherent risks.
  • To enhance data security, we recommend that you also take steps to protect your personal information, such as choosing strong and unique passwords, logging out of your account after use, and not sharing your login credentials with others.
