On a technical level, all communications between your device and ritz88 servers are protected by the latest version of Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption. Data stored on our servers is also encrypted using AES-256 encryption standards, among the highest in the industry.

• Penetration testing is conducted regularly by independent security auditors.
• Role-based access control ensures that only relevant personnel can access specific data.
• All ritz88 staff who handle user data are bound by a confidentiality agreement.
