5. Data Storage & Security

All hotlive player personal data is stored on secure servers with strict access controls. We apply multiple layers of technical and organizational protection to keep your data safe at all times:

  • 24/7 security monitoring and an automated intrusion detection system.
  • Independent security testing (penetration testing) is conducted on a regular basis.
  • Regular data backups with tested disaster recovery procedures.

While we take all reasonable precautions, no digital system can be guaranteed 100% secure. You are also responsible for keeping your account password confidential and notifying us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized access.
