Data Security

The security of your personal information is extremely important to us. We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal data when you place an order or enter, submit, or access your personal information. These measures include:

• Encryption: Sensitive information (like health details) is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our databases.
• Access Control: Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel who have a legitimate business need to access it.
• Regular Audits: We regularly monitor our systems for potential vulnerabilities and attacks.
• Data Minimization: We only retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law.

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