We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. However, no platform, network, storage method, or transmission method is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials, devices, wallet tools, and related access methods.
