Security & Privacy
We prioritise the security of your data with multi-layered defenses. Your personal data is protected ensuring a safe and trustworthy experience.
Data Protection and Privacy
Protecting your data is our top priority. We adhere to strict data protection laws and implement best practices to safeguard your information. All data is collected, stored, and processed in compliance with GDPR and other relevant regulations, ensuring your personal and financial information remains private. Regular audits and reviews are conducted to maintain the highest standards of privacy and protection.
Authentication and Authorisation
Our platform uses OAuth 2.0, an industry-standard protocol, for secure, seamless authentication and authorisation. Verified users can access only their accounts and resources, reducing unauthorised access risks. Optional multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of protection.
Data Encryption and Storage
We use advanced encryption techniques to protect your information. Data is encrypted both in transit using TLS (Transport Layer Security) and at rest with AES-256, ensuring it remains secure from interception or unauthorised access. All encrypted data is stored in the cloud, leveraging Cloudflare's secure infrastructure to provide industry-leading protection and reliability.
Account Closure and Data Deletion
We respect your right to control your data. If you choose to close your account, we provide an easy-to-follow process for deletion. Upon account closure, all associated data is securely erased from our active systems and backup storage within a defined retention period, ensuring compliance with legal requirements while safeguarding your privacy.
Platform Security
Our platform is built on Laravel 11, leveraging its built-in security features to mitigate vulnerabilities. Regular penetration testing and vulnerability scans are conducted to identify and address potential threats. We also employ advanced firewalls and monitoring systems to ensure the continuous security of our infrastructure.
Backups
To protect against data loss, we implement regular backups of all critical data. These backups are encrypted and securely stored in multiple geographic locations to ensure resilience. In the unlikely event of a system failure, our robust disaster recovery plan ensures rapid restoration of services with minimal disruption.
