Data Security
Protecting your personal information is central to the Techsylvo experience. We implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures designed to safeguard your data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
- Encryption and secure transmission: we use modern encryption protocols to protect data transmitted between your browser and our servers, particularly during account sign-in and checkout.
- Secure payment processing: payment card details are handled by vetted payment providers that comply with applicable security standards. We do not store full payment card information on our systems.
- Access controls: personal information is accessible only to authorised personnel and service providers who require it to perform their duties and who are bound by confidentiality obligations.
- System monitoring and safeguards: we maintain technical safeguards and monitoring designed to detect suspicious activity, protect service availability, and support rapid response to potential incidents.
While we work hard to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and promptly notifying us of any suspected unauthorised access to your account through our Support or Contact Us pages.
