At Brite, we prioritize the security of our users' data. To protect against unauthorized access, breaches, and other security threats, we implement the following standard practices:

Data Encryption: All user data is encrypted both in transit using industry-standard encryption protocols. This ensures that your data remains confidential and secure.

Secure Servers: User data is stored on secure servers hosted by reputable providers who comply with stringent security standards. We regularly update and patch our systems to protect against vulnerabilities.
Monitoring and Response: Our systems are continuously monitored for suspicious activity or potential breaches. In the event of a security incident, we have established protocols for rapid response and mitigation to minimize impact.
Third-Party Compliance: Any third-party services or partners we work with are required to adhere to strict security protocols and standards to ensure that user data is protected throughout its lifecycle.
