Your notes, cases, and investigative data are stored securely using industry-standard encryption. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Digital signatures and timestamps are generated using SHA-512 hashing to ensure data integrity.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise share your personal information or content with third parties except as described in this policy.
