We commit to ensuring that your information is protected and transferred in a manner consistent with legal requirements.

Protecting your personal information is a top priority for us. We employ a variety of security measures to safeguard your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include, but are not limited to, encryption, access controls, and secure software development practices. However, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
10. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, including to meet legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. Afterwards, we will either delete or anonymize your information or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
