Data Security

Healthy Habits Nutrition is committed to ensuring the security of your personal data. We implement a variety of technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption: We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt data transmitted between your browser and our servers, particularly for sensitive information like health data and payment details.

• Physical Security: Our servers are hosted in secure data centers with physical access controls.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
