## 🔒 Security Notes

### Admin Authentication
- Session-based authentication
- Hardcoded credentials (for demo purposes)
- **⚠️ IMPORTANT:** For production, implement:
  - Database-driven user authentication
  - Password hashing
  - Role-based access control
  - Laravel Breeze/Jetstream/Fortify

### Metadata Privacy
- Data is stored securely in database
- Only accessible via admin panel
- No customer-facing display of tracking data
- Consider adding privacy policy disclosure

### Email Security
- SMTP credentials stored in `.env` (not in git)
- Email addresses validated before sending
- Error handling prevents information disclosure
- Use TLS/SSL encryption for email transmission

---
