We use Google Analytics and similar services to analyze website traffic, user behavior, and performance metrics. These services help us understand how visitors use our website, which content is most popular, and how we can improve our user experience.

We maintain secure server infrastructure with regular security updates, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems. Our hosting environment is designed to provide multiple layers of security, including network-level protection and application-level security measures.

All staff members who handle personal information receive comprehensive training on data protection principles and security best practices.
We have established clear policies and procedures for data handling, including guidelines for data collection, storage, processing, and disposal. These policies are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in technology, regulations, and business practices.
In the event of a security incident, we have established incident response procedures to quickly identify, contain, and remediate any potential data breaches. We are committed to notifying affected users and relevant authorities as required by applicable laws and regulations.
