• Stripe – payment processing
• Email delivery providers – transactional and marketing emails

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information, including TLS encryption for data in transit, AES-256 encryption for sensitive stored data, and access controls limiting who can access your data within our organization.

No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
