- Compliance: We comply with applicable data protection laws and regulations to ensure the security of your personal information, including the Nigerian Data Protection Regulation Act 2023.
- User Awareness: We encourage users to follow best practices for securing their accounts, including using strong passwords and being cautious about sharing personal information.
Although we take reasonable steps to ensure all data is secured, we cannot guarantee absolute security when transmitting data over the internet or storming data electronically. Something like this.
