• Network Security: Our infrastructure is protected by firewalls, intrusion detection systems, DDoS mitigation, and regular security patching. Web Application Firewall (WAF) filters malicious traffic.
• Data Segregation: Different data types are stored in separate databases with appropriate access restrictions. Production and development environments are strictly separated.
• Monitoring and Logging: We maintain detailed logs of system access and data processing activities. Automated alerts notify our security team of suspicious activity.

4.2 Your Security Responsibilities

While we implement strong security measures, you also play a crucial role in protecting your account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. Use a strong, unique password, enable two-factor authentication if available, and never share your account details. Log out after each session, especially on shared devices. Contact us immediately if you suspect unauthorized account access.
