We ensure that any shared data is protected and used only for the intended purpose.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures, including encryption and access controls, to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. For example, job application data submitted via Formspree is encrypted in transit. However, no system is completely secure, and we encourage you to use strong passwords and avoid sharing sensitive information unnecessarily.
