All data collected by the LOBSTR Services is transmitted via secure, encrypted HTTPS protocols. We implement strict technical and organizational measures to ensure that session data is handled with the highest level of security.

Authentication tokens and cookies are stored using encryption and are only kept for the duration necessary to execute the automation tasks requested by the User.

Your Personal Data is only accessible to:

  1. Authorized LOBSTR staff: For technical support and service management.
