Data Protection

All data including personal data and transactional information are encrypted at transit and at rest in the system.

We use third party services to monitor unauthorized access and share with us any known system breaches. Additionally, if, at any point, we get information of a data breach, we immediately contact all affected parties and also take immediate remedial action in accordance with the rules and regulations of the authority having jurisdiction.
