At Opinnate, we take the security of your personal information very seriously. We are committed to ensuring that your data is protected from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. This Security Statement outlines the security measures we have in place to safeguard the data we collect and process through our website (“Site”).
1. Data Protection
Opinnate employs a variety of security technologies and practices to protect the data you provide to us. These measures include:
- Encryption: We use encryption protocols, such as Secure Socket Layer (SSL), to protect sensitive data transmitted over the internet. This ensures that your data is securely transmitted to and from our servers.
- Firewalls: Our servers are protected by industry-standard firewalls to prevent unauthorized access to your data.
- Access Controls: Only authorized personnel have access to the systems that store your personal data. We maintain strict access control policies to minimize the risk of unauthorized access or disclosure.
- Data Storage: We store personal data in secure, encrypted databases to prevent unauthorized access, loss, or damage.
2. Regular Security Audits
We conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential risks. These audits help ensure that our security measures remain up-to-date and effective in protecting your personal information.
3. Secure Data Handling
- Minimal Data Collection: We collect only the necessary information required to provide our services or fulfill your requests. We do not collect sensitive personal data unless explicitly required and permitted by law.
- Data Retention: We retain your data only for as long as necessary to provide our services and meet legal and regulatory obligations. Once your data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted.
4. User Responsibility
While we take every possible measure to secure your data, you also have a role in protecting your personal information. We recommend the following best practices:
- Strong Passwords: Ensure that your account passwords are strong and unique. Do not share your login credentials with others.
- Secure Your Device: Keep your devices secure by using antivirus software and ensuring that they are free from malware.
- Logout After Use: Always log out of your account when using shared or public devices to protect your information.
5. Third-Party Security
We use third-party services to support our operations (such as hosting, payment processing, and analytics). While we take steps to ensure these third-party providers adhere to strict security standards, we are not responsible for the security practices of third-party sites or services. Please review the security policies of any third-party providers linked to or integrated with our website.
6. Incident Response
In the event of a data breach or security incident, we have an incident response plan in place to address the situation promptly and notify affected users in accordance with applicable data protection regulations.
7. Compliance with Laws
Opinnate complies with relevant data protection and privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and Turkey’s Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK). We aim to meet the highest standards of security and data protection as required by law.
