How Do You Store and Protect My Access Credentials?

I take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction:

• Encryption During Transmission: Data is encrypted using 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption during transmission, ensuring secure data transfer between your device and my servers.

• Secure Storage of Credentials: Client credentials and sensitive information are securely stored in my Bitwarden™ vault, which employs end-to-end AES-256 encryption. This means that only I can access your data, and it is protected from unauthorized access at all times.
  

• Complex Passwords and Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):
  I utilize complex, unique passwords for all accounts and services, combined with two-factor authentication (2FA) to add an extra layer of security. This approach significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access.​

• Secure Form for Data Collection: I use a dedicated “🔐Secure Form” on my website to collect clients’ sensitive credentials and other data. This form encrypts data using AES-256 encryption before storing it in my WordPress database, ensuring that your information is protected both during transmission and at rest.​

• Automatic Data Purging: To further safeguard your data, entries submitted through the Secure Form are automatically purged from the database after 72 hours. After submission, I review the data, securely store it in my Bitwarden vault, and then delete it from the database. If, for any reason, I do not manually delete the data, the system will automatically purge it after 72 hours.​

• Secure Payment Processing: Payment information is processed through secure third-party providers that comply with industry standards for data protection, ensuring that your financial details are handled securely.​

• Restricted Access: Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel only, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access or disclosure.​

Please note that while I implement these security measures to protect your data, it’s also important for you to follow best security practices, such as using strong passwords and monitoring your accounts, to further enhance data security.
