Information Security
Bio Graphene Solutions takes the security of data very seriously. We work hard to protect the information you provide from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access or disclosure. In particular:

We review our information collection, storage, and processing practices, including physical security measures, to guard against unauthorized access to systems.
We restrict access to Personal Data to Bio Graphene Solutions employees, contractors, and agents who need to know that information to process it for us, and who are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations and may be disciplined or terminated if they fail to meet these obligations.
These steps consider the sensitivity of the Information we collect, process, and store, and the current state of technology.
