If a parent or guardian believes that PostNest has in its database the personally identifiable information of a child under 13, please contact us immediately, and we will promptly remove such information from our records.

• End-to-end TLS 1.3 / HTTPS encryption across all web traffic and API endpoints.
• Bcrypt salted password hashing with high work factor.
