We take your privacy seriously and are committed to protecting your personal data through secure systems, controlled access, and responsible sharing practices. This article explains how we safeguard your data and with whom it may be shared to support essential services.
1. How We Protect Your Data
We implement a combination of physical, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect the personal data we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
A. Data Security Measures
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption is used for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers.
Firewalls and intrusion detection systems are in place to monitor and prevent unauthorized access.
Secure server infrastructure ensures controlled access to stored data.
Only authorized personnel with a legitimate business need have access to personal data.
Access logs are regularly reviewed and monitored for anomalies or misuse.

We do not store or process full payment information on our servers. All transactions are handled by certified third-party payment processors such as PayPal or Stripe, which comply with PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) requirements.
C. Staff Training and Confidentiality
All employees, contractors, and service providers with access to personal data are trained in data protection protocols and are bound by confidentiality agreements.
D. Ongoing Risk Assessments
We regularly evaluate our security practices, update software, and conduct internal audits to address emerging threats and vulnerabilities.
