What Data Breach Procedures We Have In Place

In the unfortunate event of a data breach, we have procedures in place to ensure that the issue is reported and dealt with as soon as possible. This includes having a system in place that allows any potential or real breaches to be reported internally. Furthermore, we have appropriate contact mechanisms in place to enable individuals to report issues, ask questions, or raise concerns regarding data protection.

We also have a bug bounty system in place that encourages individuals to report any vulnerabilities or weaknesses in our data security measures. We take all potential breaches extremely seriously and are committed to finding solutions as quickly as possible to maintain a safe and secure environment for our clients’ personal data.
