CougarFriendsDate takes the security of its users very seriously and has implemented multiple measures to ensure that personal data is always kept safe and secure. All user information is encrypted using 256-bit SSL encryption, which is the same type of encryption used by major banks. Passwords are also stored in a secure hash algorithm, making it impossible for hackers to gain access to them. CougarFriendsDate has invested in a state-of-the-art firewall system as well as real-time monitoring to detect any suspicious activity or unauthorized access attempts. As an extra layer of protection, CougarFriendsDate also sends out regular emails reminding users to take steps such as changing their passwords regularly and deleting old accounts that are no longer needed.
