All third parties working with 438 are required to meet data protection standards equal to or exceeding our own, and may only use your data for agreed purposes.

6Data Security

Protecting your personal data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse is our absolute priority. 438 implements the following security measures:

  • 256-bit SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is protected by an impenetrable layer of encryption.
  • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): An additional security layer is available to protect your account from unauthorized access even if your password is compromised.
  • 24/7 Monitoring: Our security systems monitor for unusual activity around the clock and will take immediate action when a threat is detected.
  • Internal Access Control: Only authorized personnel with legitimate operational needs may access user data, and every access is recorded.
  • Regular Data Backups: Your data is regularly backed up to a secure, separate location to ensure rapid recovery in the event of a technical failure.
  • Security Testing: The 438 platform undergoes regular security assessments and penetration testing by independent security experts.
While we take all reasonable steps to protect your data, you also play an important role — make sure your password is strong, unique, and never shared with anyone.
