Our data storage infrastructure is designed to be resistant to unauthorized access, physical breaches, or malicious attacks. We also ensure that backups of your data are stored securely and are regularly tested to ensure data integrity.
5.6 Limitations and Disclaimer
While we take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect your personal data, it is important to note that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
