How We Protect Your Personal Data
To ensure your security, we use the transport layer security protocol to transmit personal information into our system.

While we take all reasonable precautions to ensure that our user data is secure and that users are protected, there always remains a risk of harm. The Internet as a whole can be insecure at times and therefore we are unable to guarantee the security of user data beyond what is reasonably practical.
