4. Data Security Measures

sigeph implements comprehensive security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Our security practices include:

• Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using 256-bit SSL/TLS technology, the same standard used by financial institutions
• Secure Storage: Personal information is stored on secure servers with restricted access. Sensitive data such as passwords and financial information is encrypted at rest
• Access Controls: Strict access controls ensure that only authorized personnel with legitimate business needs can access personal information
• Regular Security Audits: Our systems undergo regular security assessments and penetration testing to identify and address vulnerabilities
• Employee Training: All staff members receive training on data privacy and security best practices
• Monitoring: We maintain security monitoring systems to detect and respond to potential security incidents
• Two-Factor Authentication: Optional two-factor authentication adds an additional layer of account security

While we implement industry-standard security measures, no system is completely secure. You play an important role in protecting your account by maintaining strong, unique passwords, not sharing login credentials, and promptly reporting any suspicious activity to our support team.

sigeph retains your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Specifically, we retain account information and transaction records for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure as required by PAGCOR regulations and Philippine anti-money laundering laws. After the required retention period expires, we securely delete or anonymize your personal information unless continued retention is necessary for legitimate legal purposes.

If you request account deletion, we will deactivate your account and begin the deletion process, subject to applicable retention requirements. Some information may remain in backup systems for a limited period before permanent deletion occurs.
