How we protect your data and what data breach procedures we have in place
We protect customer data with the following site features:

- Encrypted cookies
- User passwords are securely stored as hashes.
- WordPress credentials provided by clients to ICanLocalize supporters are securely encrypted.
- The entire codebase is continuously scanned with a vulnerability scanner specifically designed to find security issues in Ruby on Rails applications.
In case of a data breach, System administrators will immediately go through affected users and will attempt to reset passwords if needed after informing the user.
What rights you have over your data
