How is the Data Protected?

The security of user data is extremely important to us. We are taking all measures to protect it.

The data is stored in Microsoft Azure, which is known as a reliable service provider.
All information is transmitted to the server and back over SSL. Thus, interception of data is excluded, for example when working using a public wifi.
The database structure does not allow decrypting the information stored in it, even if the data somehow falls into the hands of intruders.
We conduct an audit of data security once every 2-3 months and after major updates. Our experts in the field of information security perform vulnerability scans.
