With Service Providers

We use third-party services to operate our platform. Stripe processes payments, Supabase hosts our database, and Scryfall provides card data. These providers have strict data protection agreements.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:

  • All data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3
  • Passwords are hashed using bcrypt and never stored in plain text
  • Database access is restricted and monitored
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing
  • Payment information is processed directly by Stripe; we never store card details

Despite these measures, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
