We also automatically collect usage data such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on our platform. This data helps us improve the user experience and diagnose technical issues.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Password Security: Passwords are hashed using bcrypt, a secure cryptographic hashing algorithm
Session Management: Sessions are managed with JWT tokens with appropriate expiration
Secure Infrastructure: Our database is hosted on secure, SOC 2 compliant infrastructure

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
