8. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?

We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS), secure password hashing (bcrypt), JWT-based authentication with expiration, role-based access controls, and regular security audits. However, no electronic transmission or storage method is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.
