At MyCastingNet we take the security and safety of your data very seriously. That’s why we have developed MCN on the latest .NET technologies from Microsoft, and hosted the site and all of its data on Microsoft’s Cloud computing platform, Microsoft Azure. That’s a lot of technical speak, but what it boils down to is that your data is stored in one of the most secure locations available on the web, and is run on Microsoft servers and stored in triplicate so that if anything ever happens to the severs there is another copy of your data and there will be minimal interruption to your service. As an additional measure, we monitor our severs 24/7 so rest easy; both you and your data are safe on MyCastingNet.
