  • Amazon Web Services (AWS): For secure cloud hosting, storage, and data infrastructure.
  • Note: All data interactions with these providers are encrypted in transit and comply with the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act of India.

Data Security

We implement robust administrative and technical safeguards, including industry-standard encryption, to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration.
