We take appropriate measures, including contractual safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable) and technical and organizational security measures, to protect your information during international transfers.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures, including encryption in transit, access controls, and secure development practices, to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
VI. Data Retention and Deletion
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, or dispute-resolution requirements). When retention is no longer necessary, we will securely delete or anonymize your personal information, subject to any legal obligations requiring us to retain certain records. Please note that residual copies may take some time to be fully removed from backup systems.
