safeguards to ensure the data is protected. Primarily, access to the VPC in which the database
and server are hosted is limited to encrypted traffic incoming from our app through HTTPS. The
verified traffic is directed to the server hosted in an EC2 instance of a public subnet of the Virtual
Private Cloud (VPC). https://aws.amazon.com/security/ Your data is stored or accessed from the
database which is hosted in a private subnet of the VPC and which can only be interfaced with
from inside the VPC by an authorized user. We employ logging and monitoring tools such as
Amazon Cloudwatch to ensure the health and integrity of our servers and security measures.
We will maintain reasonable safeguards to protect your PII. However, no security measures can
be guaranteed to be 100% effective and so we cannot guarantee the security of your PII. We
expressly disclaim any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, with respect to
ensuring, guaranteeing or otherwise offering any definitive promise of security in connection with
your personal information or usage information.
