Analytics cookies help us understand feature usage. These are only set if you accept cookies via our cookie banner.
You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies or via the cookie settings in your browser.

We implement industry-standard security measures including:
- TLS encryption for all data in transit
- Bcrypt password hashing — we never store plaintext passwords
- Role-based access control so your data is only accessible to you
- Regular security reviews and dependency audits
No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable steps to protect your data.
