5. Data Security

plytim takes the security of your personal information seriously and implements industry-standard technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect your data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our security measures include:

• Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption, the same technology used by major banks and financial institutions worldwide.
• Secure Storage: Personal information is stored on secure servers in access-controlled facilities with firewall protection and intrusion detection systems.
• Access Controls: Access to personal information is restricted to authorized employees, contractors, and service providers who need the information to perform their job functions, and all such individuals are subject to strict confidentiality obligations.

Despite our security measures, no data transmission over the internet or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security, and you transmit information to us at your own risk. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for any activity that occurs under your account.
