5. Security

As a small business, we strive to protect your data using reasonable measures, such as encryption, access controls, and secure hosting. However, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security against breaches, unauthorized access, or data loss. You acknowledge this risk and agree to use the Service accordingly.

In the event of a data breach, we will notify you as required by law.
