At WebMargin Agency, we prioritize the security and integrity of your personal information. We employ various forms of data protection to safeguard your data and ensure it remains confidential and secure. Our data security measures include, but are not limited to, the following:
Our application is built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), a highly reputable and secure cloud computing platform. AWS maintains rigorous security standards and has achieved various certifications, including SOC 2, CSA, ISO 27001, and more. Leveraging the robust security features of AWS, we strive to create a secure environment for your data.
We implement automated code-testing processes to identify and address vulnerabilities and security flaws in our application's codebase. These continuous testing practices enable us to proactively resolve potential security issues and ensure that your data remains protected.
To further fortify our application's security, we regularly conduct vulnerability testing, including comprehensive assessments based on the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top 10 vulnerabilities. We reduce the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access by actively identifying and remediating potential security weaknesses.
We employ sophisticated continuous monitoring technologies to closely monitor our application's infrastructure, data flows, and access points. This proactive approach allows us to promptly detect and respond to any unusual activities, potential threats, or security incidents.
Your data's security is paramount, and to ensure data remains confidential, we employ encryption techniques. Specifically, we use AWS RDS’s AES-256 encryption to encrypt data at rest. This encryption method ensures that your data remains protected even when stored in our databases.
We implement strict access control measures to restrict unauthorized access to your personal information. Only authorized personnel with a legitimate need to access your data, such as our developers and support staff, are granted appropriate permissions. Access controls are regularly reviewed and updated to maintain the highest level of security.
We recognize that data security is a collective responsibility. Therefore, we conduct regular training sessions for our employees to ensure they are well-informed about data protection practices, maintaining confidentiality, and handling sensitive information securely.
We perform regular data backups and maintain a comprehensive disaster recovery plan. These measures help ensure your data remains available even in unforeseen circumstances, such as hardware failures or natural disasters.
We conduct periodic security assessments of our third-party service providers to verify their adherence to robust security practices and compliance with relevant data protection regulations.
While we take extensive measures to maintain the security of your personal information, it is essential to acknowledge that no data transmission or storage method can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As such, we want to bring the following points to your attention:
When you share information over the internet, whether through our website, application, or other communication channels, there is always a risk that data could be intercepted, accessed, or tampered with by unauthorized parties. Despite our efforts to protect your data during transmission, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
We encourage you to play an active role in safeguarding your personal information. Please exercise caution when sharing sensitive details online and avoid using insecure networks or public computers to access our services.
Your user account credentials play a crucial role in protecting your data. Please ensure you choose strong, unique passwords and refrain from sharing them with others. Regularly updating your passwords and using multi-factor authentication where available can add an extra layer of security.
Be cautious when responding to emails or messages requesting sensitive information. We will never ask for your account credentials or other personal information via unsolicited emails or communication channels. If you receive any suspicious emails or messages claiming to be from WebMargin Agency, please notify us immediately.
In the unfortunate event of a data breach, we have established a comprehensive incident response plan to identify and address any security incidents promptly. If a breach occurs that may impact your personal information; we will notify you in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Once the project is completed and you have received the deliverables, we will retain your data for a reasonable period to address any potential post-launch issues and support requests.
We retain your personal information for SEO services to continuously monitor and optimize your website's performance. SEO data is valuable for tracking trends, analyzing historical changes, and identifying long-term strategies.
