4. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely using Supabase, a cloud database platform, with servers hosted in compliance with industry-standard security practices. We implement the following safeguards:

• File uploads (photos, resumes) are stored in secure, access-controlled storage buckets.

While we take reasonable precautions to protect your data, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
