Encryption keys are randomized continuously throughout sessions. We do not knowingly allow any unencrypted data to be exposed.

Very little personal data is stored on the user’s physical device, and only include low-risk information such as parameters used to display the user’s avatar.

We will ensure that collected Personal Data are treated with care and protected according to applicable safety standards.
9.5 The security of your Personal Data is very important to us, but remember that no online transmissions, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially validated means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
