When your data is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure that it remains protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws. The third-party services we use maintain their own data protection standards and compliance certifications.

By using the Site, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries outside India where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. We will always strive to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy, regardless of where it is processed or stored.

11. Security Measures

We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security measures include:

• HTTPS encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our Site is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security) to prevent interception by third parties.
• Secure hosting: The Site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, which provides enterprise-grade security features including DDoS protection, a Web Application Firewall (WAF), and automatic SSL certificate management.
• Access controls: Access to personal data (such as contact form submissions) is restricted to authorised team members who need it to perform their duties.
• Regular reviews: We periodically review our data collection, storage, and processing practices to ensure they remain aligned with this Privacy Policy and current security best practices.
• Minimisation: We follow data minimisation principles, collecting only the information necessary for the specified purposes and avoiding unnecessary data collection.

While we implement robust security measures, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information, but we are committed to protecting it to the best of our ability using industry-standard practices.
