4. Data security
We apply layered security controls to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction.

- Regular assessments, audits, and vulnerability management.
- Strict authentication, authorization, and logging.
- Network monitoring, DDoS mitigation, and incident response.
- Offsite backups for hosting platforms.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. You may also request data portability or withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.
8. Cookies & tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our control panels, analyze traffic, and remember preferences. Browser settings usually allow you to restrict cookies, though doing so may impact functionality.
