8.1 Cross-Border Data Transfers

Some of our service providers are based outside your country (e.g., cloud hosting, payment services, etc). We ensure that appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses, security firewalls or data residency practices) are in place to protect your data.

9. Security Measures

Eden has its own but also leverages its partners strong encryption, secure servers, access control, and monitoring protocols. However, no system is 100% secure. Always protect your password and email. Do not share it!

9.1 Data Breach Notification

In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting your personal information in any of our data regions, our system is designed to immediately render the compromised data unusable, activate a secure backup from another protected region, analyze the breach to identify its cause, and reinforce our security framework with stronger, adaptive defenses. In the case of total exposure, which is very unlikely to happen, we will notify you and the appropriate authorities in accordance with applicable laws.

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Understand usage patterns
• Store preferences

You can adjust cookie settings through your browser.
