The security of our Systems

We use third party vendors and hosting partners to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to provide the service. By submitting your personally identifying information, you agree to this.

We have implemented physical and technical security safeguards to protect your data in accordance with industry standards. We limit access to your information on our servers, and it is password-protected/encrypted. We encrypt the communication channels using SSL. We also regularly monitor our servers for possible vulnerabilities and attacks. Nevertheless, as the Internet is not a 100% secure environment, we cannot guarantee the security of any information that you transmit to us. There is no guarantee that information on our servers may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of our safeguards or be compromised by unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors.

Woopa will never disclose your personal information to a third party unless consented by you or otherwise required by law
