3. How We Use Your Information

  • Monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our service
  • Detect, prevent, and address technical issues
  • Ensure the security of our platform

4. Data Security

We have implemented industry-standard technical, administrative, and physical security measures designed to protect the security and confidentiality of information under our control. These measures include:

Technical Safeguards
TLS/SSL Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS/SSL protocols.
Data Encryption: Sensitive data stored in our systems is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption standards.
Firewalls and Intrusion Detection: We utilize advanced firewall configurations and intrusion detection systems to prevent unauthorized access to our servers.
Regular Security Audits: We conduct periodic security assessments and penetration testing to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.
Access Controls: Strict access controls and authentication mechanisms are in place to limit access to our systems and data.
Infrastructure Security
  • Server Hardening: Our servers follow security best practices including regular patching, minimal service exposure, and principle of least privilege.
  • DDoS Protection: We implement measures to mitigate distributed denial of service attacks to ensure service availability.
  • Redundancy: Critical systems are designed with redundancy to minimize downtime and data loss risks.
Despite these precautions, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, but we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. Data Retention and Minimization

We follow data minimization principles and only retain automatically collected information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Our specific retention practices include:

  • Log Data: Server logs are automatically purged after 30 days unless longer retention is required for security incident investigation or legal obligations.
  • Analytics Data: We aggregate and anonymize usage statistics after 90 days, removing any potentially identifying information.
  • Technical Identifiers: Unique identifiers used for functionality are refreshed periodically and not permanently linked to historical data.

After the applicable retention period, we securely delete or anonymize information so that it can no longer be associated with any particular user or device.
