4.1 Trusted Service Providers

We work with carefully selected third-party service providers — including payment processors, identity verification providers and technical support platforms — who assist us in operating the platform. All such providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are only permitted to process your data in accordance with our instructions.

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or transfer of company assets, user data may be transferred as part of that transaction. You will be notified in advance and given the option to delete your account if you do not agree.

5. Data Encryption & Security

The security of your data is a responsibility we take very seriously. 5hot uses a combination of security technologies and comprehensive internal procedures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification.

  • All data communications are protected by 256-bit TLS/SSL encryption

6.3 Preference Cookies
