  • Backup and Recovery: We maintain regular backups of all user data to ensure data integrity and availability. These backups are also encrypted and stored securely.
  • Third-Party Services: In cases where we use third-party services for data storage or processing, we ensure that these services comply with our security standards and applicable data protection laws.
