9 Security

We take the security of your data seriously and implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption of data in transit using TLS (HTTPS).
• Encryption of sensitive data at rest within our database infrastructure (Supabase).
• Access controls limiting which team members can access user data.
• Regular security reviews of our infrastructure and code.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. In the event of a data breach that affects your rights, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

If you are accessing the App from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.
