We use industry-standard security measures, including encrypted connections, role-based access controls, and database-level access policies that restrict who can see what data, based on your relationship to a given Advocacy Page (owner, invited participant, team member, or the general public, depending on your settings).
No system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to the platform.
