Security Statement
How we protect your data and maintain a secure service
Our Commitment to Security
At WhiteBG, we are committed to protecting your personal information and ensuring the security of our platform. We implement industry-standard security measures and best practices to safeguard your data and provide a secure service experience.
This Security Statement outlines the measures we take to protect your information and the steps you can take to help keep your account secure. We regularly review and update our security practices to address emerging threats and improve our security posture.
Data Protection
We implement multiple layers of protection to secure your data:
- Encryption: We use industry-standard encryption (TLS/SSL) to protect data in transit between your device and our servers. This ensures that your information cannot be intercepted and read by unauthorized parties during transmission.
- Secure Storage: Your uploaded images and personal information are stored using secure cloud infrastructure with multiple layers of protection.
- Data Minimization: We only collect and retain the data necessary to provide our services. For free users, images are automatically deleted after 24 hours.
- Access Controls: We implement strict access controls to ensure that only authorized personnel can access our systems and customer data, and only for specific, legitimate purposes.
- Regular Security Assessments: We conduct regular security assessments and vulnerability scanning to identify and address potential security issues.
Image Security
We understand that your images may contain sensitive or proprietary information. Here's how we protect them:
- Secure Processing: All image processing occurs on secure, isolated servers.
- Temporary Storage: For free users, images are temporarily stored and automatically deleted after 24 hours. Premium users can choose to store images in their secure account area.
- No Third-Party Access: We do not sell or share your images with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes.
- Secure Deletion: When images are deleted, we ensure they are securely removed from our systems using industry-standard practices.
Account Security
We implement several measures to help keep your account secure:
- Password Security: We enforce strong password requirements and store passwords using one-way hashing with modern, secure algorithms.
- Authentication: Premium users have the option to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for an additional layer of security.
- Session Management: We implement secure session handling and automatic timeouts for inactive sessions.
- Login Monitoring: We monitor for suspicious login attempts and may require additional verification for unusual activity.
Payment Security
When you subscribe to our premium services, your payment information is handled with the utmost security:
- PCI Compliance: Our payment processing adheres to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).
- Third-Party Processors: We use established, secure third-party payment processors to handle credit card transactions. We do not store your full credit card details on our servers.
- Encryption: All payment transactions are secured with encryption technology.
Infrastructure Security
Our infrastructure is designed with security as a priority:
- Cloud Security: We use leading cloud service providers with robust security measures and compliance certifications.
- Firewalls and Network Security: We implement firewalls, network segmentation, and intrusion detection systems to protect our infrastructure.
- Regular Updates: We regularly update our systems and applications to address security vulnerabilities.
- Redundancy: Our systems are designed with redundancy to minimize service disruptions.

Security Incident Response
We have established procedures to handle security incidents:
