Section 6 - security

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. We use Cloudflare to provide enhanced security and performance for our website, including protection against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, unauthorized access, and data breaches.

Cloudflare provides an additional layer of security by monitoring traffic and blocking suspicious activity before it reaches our servers. Your connection to our website is secured using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption, and we follow strict security protocols to protect your personal information.

While we strive to implement the most up-to-date security measures, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.
