8. Data Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. This includes relying on the security measures implemented by our third-party service providers (Meta, Kajabi, Zoom, and Stripe), all of which maintain their own industry-standard security practices.
