16. Security
Red Tech uses reasonable technical, organizational, and administrative measures designed to protect personal information, including access controls, encryption where appropriate, monitoring, backups, and security reviews.
However, no website, application, database, or internet transmission is completely secure. Red Tech cannot guarantee absolute security.

17. Data Breaches
If Red Tech becomes aware of a data breach affecting personal information, Red Tech will take reasonable steps to investigate, reduce harm, and notify affected users or regulators where required by law.
Not every security incident is a legally reportable breach. Red Tech will assess incidents according to applicable legal requirements.

Interactions with third-party services may be visible to those services and governed by their own terms and policies.

If Red Tech offers developer tools, APIs, apps, or integrations, developers may access information according to the permissions granted and the functionality used.
Developers must comply with Red Tech’s developer requirements, privacy requirements, and applicable law. However, Red Tech is not responsible for third-party developers’ independent processing of data once information is shared according to permissions or integration functionality.
You should only connect trusted apps and revoke access when no longer needed.

25. Data Accuracy
You are responsible for keeping your account information accurate and up to date. You may update certain information through your account settings.
