Data Security and Protection Measures

Citinow continuously invests in the latest cybersecurity infrastructure to ensure that member personal data is always protected against increasingly sophisticated threats. The layers of protection we maintain include:

  • Data Encryption in Transit: TLS 1.3 protocol with 256-bit encryption for all communications between your device and citinow servers.
  • Data Encryption at Rest: Sensitive data stored in our databases is encrypted using the AES-256 algorithm.
  • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): 2FA is available for all member accounts as an extra layer of security during login.
  • 24/7 Monitoring: A real-time threat monitoring system operates around the clock to detect and respond to any unusual activity.
  • Regular Security Audits: Penetration testing and independent security audits are conducted on a regular basis by accredited third-party cybersecurity firms.
  • Internal Access Controls: The principle of least privilege ensures that only staff who require access to specific data are permitted to do so.

While citinow takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no security system in the world is 100% impenetrable. You also play an important role in keeping your account secure by choosing a strong password, not sharing your login credentials with anyone, and promptly reporting any suspicious activity to our support team.

In the event of a security incident involving your personal data, citinow will notify you within the timeframe required by applicable law, including information about the nature of the incident and the steps being taken to address it.
