4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encrypted data transmission (TLS/SSL), secure server infrastructure, access controls, and regular security audits. Sensitive documents (contracts, KYC files) are stored with encryption at rest. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
