4 Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction:
- HTTPS encryption: All data transmission between our systems and your browser or Shopify store is encrypted using TLS/SSL
- Secure servers: Data is stored on servers with restricted physical and network access, firewall protection, and regular security audits
- Restricted access: Only authorized personnel with a legitimate need have access to merchant and customer data
- Regular updates: Our infrastructure and dependencies are regularly updated to address security vulnerabilities
While we implement strong security measures, no system is completely immune to security risks. We encourage merchants to use strong passwords and report any suspicious activity immediately.
