    • MeetCute data is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS)

    • AWS provides a comprehensive set of security services and features to help protect your infrastructure, data, and applications. The security structure in AWS is built on various layers, including physical security, network security, access management, data encryption, and monitoring. Here's an overview of the AWS security structure:

      • Physical Security:

        • AWS operates secure data centers worldwide and employs strict physical security measures to protect its infrastructure. This includes perimeter fencing, 24/7 security guards, video surveillance, access controls, and environmental controls to safeguard against unauthorized access and environmental hazards.

      • Network Security:

        • AWS offers several network security features to protect data in transit and control access to resources. These include Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), which allows you to isolate your AWS resources within a virtual network, and network access control lists (ACLs) and security groups to define inbound and outbound traffic rules.

      • Identity and Access Management (IAM):

        • IAM is a fundamental component of AWS security. It enables you to manage user identities, control access to AWS resources, and assign permissions. With IAM, you can create and manage users, groups, roles, and policies to enforce least privilege principles and ensure only authorized individuals have access to AWS resources.

      • Data Encryption:

        • AWS provides various encryption mechanisms to protect data at rest and in transit. AWS Key Management Service (KMS) allows you to manage encryption keys, encrypt data stored in AWS services, and control access to the keys. Additionally, AWS offers SSL/TLS for encrypting data in transit and provides services like Amazon S3 and Amazon EBS that support server-side encryption.

      • Monitoring and Logging:

        • AWS offers a range of monitoring and logging services to help you gain visibility into your infrastructure and detect any security issues. Amazon CloudWatch enables you to collect and monitor metrics, set alarms, and view logs, while AWS CloudTrail provides a detailed audit trail of API activity, allowing you to track and investigate actions taken within your AWS account.

      • Security and Compliance Services:

        • AWS provides a wide range of additional security services and features to meet various compliance requirements and security needs. This includes services like AWS Firewall Manager, AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall), AWS Shield for DDoS protection, and AWS Security Hub for central security management and compliance monitoring.

    • In the event of a data breach, we will take all necessary steps to notify affected users as required by applicable law.
