Data Security
Aurora Studios is committed to protecting the security of your information. We implement a variety of security measures to safeguard your data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These measures include:
- Encryption: We use industry-standard encryption technologies to protect your sensitive information during transmission and storage. This includes encrypting your credit card information when you make a purchase and encrypting your password when you create an account.
- Firewalls: We use firewalls to protect our servers and networks from unauthorized access. Firewalls act as a barrier between our internal network and the external internet, blocking unauthorized traffic from entering our system.
- Access Controls: We restrict access to your personal information to authorized personnel only. Our employees are trained on data security best practices and are required to adhere to strict confidentiality policies.
- Regular Security Audits: We conduct regular security audits to identify and address potential vulnerabilities in our systems. This includes vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and security code reviews.
- Data Minimization: We only collect and retain the information that is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We regularly review our data retention policies to ensure that we are not retaining data for longer than is necessary.
- Physical Security: Our servers are housed in secure data centers with restricted physical access. These data centers employ security measures such as biometric authentication, surveillance cameras, and security guards.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
We encourage you to take steps to protect your own information as well. This includes using strong passwords, protecting your devices from malware, and being cautious about sharing your personal information online.
In the event of a data breach, we will notify you as required by applicable law and take steps to mitigate the damage.
