3. How We Protect Your Information
We take your privacy and security seriously. Our website is hosted and secured on the Wix platform, which provides industry-leading security features to protect your data:
-
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) Encryption: Wix uses SSL encryption to protect your data during transmission. All personal and payment information provided via our site is securely transmitted and protected from unauthorized access.
-
Secure Data Storage: Wix employs robust security measures, including secure servers and firewalls, to store your data safely and prevent unauthorized access.
-
Payment Security: Wix integrates with secure payment gateways such as Wix Payments and other third-party payment processors that adhere to PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards), ensuring that your payment information is securely handled.
-
Two-Factor Authentication: For accounts on our site, Wix offers two-factor authentication to further secure your login credentials and prevent unauthorized access to your account.
-
Third-Party Security: Any third-party services (e.g., marketing tools, payment processors) we use are integrated with Wix's secure infrastructure and are bound by security agreements to protect your data.
While we take every precaution to protect your data, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
