5. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption for all data in transit, signed session tokens, and access controls on our database. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
