Sharing of Information

We may share non-personal information that is aggregated or de-identified to prevent identification of individuals. Additionally, we may disclose information about you to comply with legal obligations, protect our rights, or prevent illegal activity.

Security of Your Personal Data

We prioritize the security of your personal data and implement a range of technical and organizational measures to protect it. Our security measures include:

  • Data Encryption: Encrypting personal data both in transit and at rest.
  • System Security Checks: Regularly conducting system vulnerability scans and penetration tests.
  • Access Control: Only personnel responsible for data management can access your personal data, and solely for necessary service operation purposes.
  • Data Anonymization and Tokenization: Anonymizing and tokenizing certain categories of personal data.

We also conduct regular data protection impact assessments to ensure our services comply with the principles of “privacy by design” and “privacy by default.”

Security Notification and Early Warning

If we detect a security breach, we will notify you through a public announcement or email and take appropriate measures according to the law and this privacy policy. If personal data is potentially compromised, we will take corrective actions such as account deactivation, password resets, and other necessary measures.

If you discover any security incidents related to our services, please email us at OtterLife@iftech.io.

Although we employ various security measures, no system is completely secure. You should also help protect your information by choosing strong passwords, not sharing them, and safeguarding your mobile device.
