Security Measures: Our website and data management systems implement robust security measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include encryption, secure access protocols, and regular integrity assessments.
Transparency and Accountability: We commit to ongoing communication regarding our cookie practices and any updates that may affect how your data is handled.

Securing your personal data is a responsibility we take very seriously at Plush World. Our technical infrastructure is designed to protect against data breaches, unauthorized access, and other cyber security threats. Here are the key measures we have implemented:

Encryption: Data transmitted between your browser and our servers is protected using advanced encryption protocols to ensure it cannot be intercepted or tampered with during transit.
Access Controls: Stringent access controls are in place to restrict the processing of personal data only to those employees or partners who require it to perform their dedicated tasks.
Continuous Monitoring: Our systems are under regular monitoring and periodic testing to detect vulnerabilities or suspicious activities. In the event of any anomaly, immediate action is taken to rectify the issue.
Data Anonymization: Whenever possible, data is anonymized to dissociate it from personally identifiable information, thereby ensuring that the privacy of our users is not compromised.
Incident Response Protocols: In the unlikely scenario of a data breach, we have developed thorough incident response protocols that ensure swift communication, mitigation, and remediation in accordance with the legal obligations.

These measures help guarantee that any data acquired through the use of cookies or similar technologies is managed with high levels of security and accountability.
