Security

We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we continuously improve our safeguards. Our current controls include:

  • Transport security: All traffic is served over HTTPS/TLS. We enable HSTS and modern cipher suites.
  • Hosting & perimeter: The site is hosted on Vercel with regional isolation. DNS/CDN protection is provided by Cloudflare.
  • Access control: Production systems are protected by SSO or strong credentials and the principle of least privilege. Secrets are stored in environment variables (not in source control).
  • Data handling: Newsletter emails and CMS content are stored with reputable providers (e.g., Resend, Sanity). We limit the data we collect and retain it only as long as needed.
  • Application safeguards: We use HTTP security headers (HSTS, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options) and a strict Content Security Policy where possible.
  • Monitoring & logging: Core platform logs and metrics help detect anomalies and troubleshoot issues.
  • Vulnerability management: We keep dependencies up to date and address material security advisories.
  • Incident response: In the event of a data incident, we investigate promptly and, where legally required, notify affected users and/or regulators.

You can help keep your data safe by using unique passwords and keeping your devices and browsers updated.
