Not used to train AI models or shared with third parties

Encryption of data in transit using SSL/TLS protocols
Regular security assessments and updates
Access controls and authentication mechanisms
Minimal data retention policies

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
