How secure is iMastering?
iMastering uses industry standard 128 bit SSL encryption. We are using the best encryption available to protect transfers and restrict access to accounts. All traffic on our server will be logged.
Naturally, all account and credit card transactions are encrypted but we also encrypt the file transfers. This stops people stealing your tracks whilst in transit.
We will not divulge your password to anybody. If you forget or lose your password you can request a new password to be e-mailed to you by using the link in the Log In section.
When you first receive your password from us we strongly advise you to log in and change it. Tip: A strong password is a word not found in the dictionary, is at least 8 letters long and is alpha-numeric.
We would stress that for your own protection you should not divulge your account details to any other person.
