5. How We Protect Your Information:
While no service is completely secure, Squarespace has a security team dedicated to keeping personal information safe. They maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards that are intended to appropriately protect against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse, and any other unlawful form of processing of, personal information. Security measures such as using firewalls to protect against intruders, building redundancies throughout the network (so that if one server goes down, another can cover for it), and testing for and protecting against network vulnerabilities are just some of the methods Squarespace employs to ensure that your personal information remains protected.
