validator = EnhancedEmailValidator()

# After some validations...
stats = validator.get_validation_stats()

print(f"Total Validations: {stats['total_validations']}")
print(f"Success Rate: {stats['success_rate']:.1%}")
print(f"Average Response Time: {stats['avg_response_time']:.3f}s")

```

### Performance Monitoring

```python
import time
from pyidverify.email_verification import EnhancedEmailValidator

async def benchmark_validation():
    validator = EnhancedEmailValidator()
    
    test_emails = ["user@gmail.com"] * 100
    
    start_time = time.time()
    tasks = [validator.validate_email(email) for email in test_emails]
    results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
    end_time = time.time()
    
    total_time = end_time - start_time
    emails_per_second = len(test_emails) / total_time
    
    print(f"Processed {len(test_emails)} emails in {total_time:.2f} seconds")
    print(f"Rate: {emails_per_second:.1f} emails/second")
    
    valid_count = sum(1 for r in results if r.is_valid)
    print(f"Valid emails: {valid_count}/{len(test_emails)} ({valid_count/len(test_emails):.1%})")

asyncio.run(benchmark_validation())
```

## 🛡️ Security Considerations

### Data Protection
- **No Data Retention**: Email addresses are not stored unless explicitly configured
- **Encrypted Communication**: All API calls use HTTPS/TLS
- **Memory Security**: Sensitive data cleared from memory after use
- **Audit Trails**: Comprehensive logging for compliance requirements

### Privacy Compliance
- **GDPR Ready**: Data processing transparency and user rights
- **Minimal Data Collection**: Only necessary data is processed
- **Right to Erasure**: Data can be deleted on request
- **Data Portability**: Export functionality for user data

### Rate Limiting & Abuse Prevention
```python
from pyidverify.email_verification import EnhancedEmailValidator

# Configure rate limiting
validator = EnhancedEmailValidator()

# Built-in rate limiting prevents abuse
try:
    results = []
    for email in large_email_list:
        result = await validator.validate_email(email)
        results.append(result)
except RateLimitExceeded:
    print("Rate limit exceeded. Please wait before continuing.")
```
