These measures include SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit, hashed storage of passwords, access controls restricting staff access to personal data on a need-to-know basis, regular security assessments, and incident response procedures. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and k222 cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your k222 login credentials. If you suspect unauthorised access to your account, contact support immediately via live chat in your account dashboard.
