We store your information, including IP addresses and Contributions, on secure servers and implement reasonable measures to protect it from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Specifically, IP addresses are encrypted before storage to enhance security. However, no online platform is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
