This is a critical aspect of the platform's functionality, ensuring that photographers can effectively manage their content and sales.

5. Security of Data

We implement advanced security measures to protect your personal data and prevent unauthorized access. Your data security is our top priority, and we use industry-standard technologies and practices to safeguard your information. These measures include:

  • Firewalls: We use firewalls to protect our servers and prevent unauthorized access to our network. Firewalls act as a barrier between our network and the outside world, blocking malicious traffic and preventing hackers from gaining access to your data.
  • Access Controls: We implement strict access controls to limit who can access your data. Only authorized personnel with a legitimate business need can access your personal information, and they are required to follow strict security protocols.
