Gemini implements best practices as they evolve.

Incident Management

In the event of a breach, Gemini will promptly notify you of any unauthorized access to Client data. Gemini has incident management policies and procedures.

Product Security Practices

New features, functionality, and design changes go through a security review process facilitated by the development team.
