Your information is safe.

ALL YOUR DATA IS ENCRYPTED AND PRIVATE TO YOU

We’re using the AES-256 encryption method. It’s the only cipher approved by the U.S. National Security Agency for top secret information. The only way to break our security would be by a brute force attack. This means a computer has to try every possible combination of 64 characters one after another. Deciphering a single AES-256 code would take longer than the universe exists. Simply put… your data is safe.
