Security Measures and Data Protection Practices

Our security infrastructure is designed to safeguard your personal and financial information. The full credit card numbers are never accessed by our systems, and we employ transport layer security (TLS) encryption for the protection of highly sensitive data, including tax-related information.

In addition to these precautions, we implement advanced security protocols such as two-factor authentication for account access, enhancing the integrity of user sign-in procedures. CAPTCHA verification is deployed to counteract bot activities and is triggered in scenarios indicative of unusual activities, such as login attempts from unrecognized IP addresses or multiple successive attempts to access an account.

Furthermore, all communications and data transfers between users and our platform are exclusively conducted over HTTPS, ensuring that all information exchanged is securely encrypted. This commitment to security encompasses all interactions with our services, maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of your data.
