Protection of your information
Pingtumi uses commercially reasonable protection technology to keep your information secure. This includes the encryption of your password. Information transmitted between the Pingtumi app and the server is also performed via a secure SSL tunnel. Pingtumi however does not guarantee the protection of information transmitted over the Internet nor do we guarantee that information stored on our servers or those of third parties we have a business relationship with will never be breached.
