9. Security Measures

We use the SSL/HTTPS protocol throughout our site. This encrypts our user communications with the servers so that personal identifiable information is not captured/hijacked by third parties without authorization.

In case of a data breach, system administrators will immediately take all needed steps to ensure system integrity, will contact affected users and will attempt to reset passwords if needed.

10. Your Data Rights

If you have a registered account on this site, register your theme copy when activating the theme (enter your Name and Email) or have left comments or support requests, you can request that we erase any of the personal data we have stored.
