6. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?

We implement technical and organisational security measures including data encryption (in transit and at rest), strict access controls, regular security audits, and up-to-date software. However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Use our services within a secure environment.

We do not knowingly collect data from or market to anyone under 18. By using our services, you confirm you are at least 18 years old (or a parent/guardian consenting on behalf of a minor). If we discover we have collected data from a minor, we will deactivate the account and delete the data promptly. Please contact us at support@srankbazaar.com if you are aware of any such data.
