How long we store personal data

How we protect your personal data

In order to protect your security, we use transport layer security protocol to transmit personal information within our system.

All data stored in our system is well secured and accessible only to our employees. Our employees are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and a breach of this agreement would result in the employee’s dismissal.

While we take every reasonable precaution to ensure that our user data is secure and that users are protected, there is always the risk of harm.
