8. Security

We implement industry-standard security controls including TLS encryption in transit, row-level security (RLS) on all database tables, and service-role key isolation between tenants. However, no system is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

To report a security vulnerability, contact support@pipefield-os.com.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email and/or by posting a notice on the platform at least 30 days before the change takes effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
