• Authentication: Two-factor authentication (2FA) is available and recommended for all accounts. Login attempts are monitored for suspicious activity.
• Secure Infrastructure: Our platform is hosted on secure cloud infrastructure with regular security audits, penetration testing, and vulnerability assessments.
• Data Minimization: We collect only the data necessary for legitimate purposes and delete information that is no longer needed.
• Employee Training: All staff undergo data protection and security awareness training. Confidentiality agreements are mandatory.
• Incident Response: We maintain a security incident response plan and will notify affected users of any data breaches as required by law.

While we implement robust security measures, no system is completely secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and should immediately notify us if you suspect unauthorized access.
