We implement industry-standard security measures including:

• Passwords are hashed using bcrypt (never stored in plain text)
• All data transmission is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS
• Database access is restricted and monitored
• Regular security audits and dependency updates

Despite these measures, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
