5. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored using Google Firebase infrastructure, which provides industry-standard encryption in transit and at rest. Sensitive information such as license numbers is stored in a restricted subcollection accessible only to the account owner and server-side processes.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including Firebase App Check for API security and Firestore Security Rules to restrict data access. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
