At PiaWak, our users' trust is the foundation of everything we do. This policy clearly and simply explains what information we collect, how we use it, and, most importantly, how we protect it.
1. Our Commitment to Your Security
We take the security of your information very seriously. Our platform and processes have been designed following the highest standards to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data.

-
Data Encryption: All information transferred between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher. Sensitive data stored in our databases is also encrypted.
-
Strict Access Control: The platform is designed to ensure that only you can access your information. One operator cannot see another operator’s private data. We implement a role and permission system based on the principle of least privilege.
-
Secure Infrastructure: We use top-tier cloud service providers that meet the most demanding global security certifications.
-
Security by Design: PiaWak is developed following industry best practices, including OWASP Top 10 recommendations, to prevent common vulnerabilities from the code level.
