6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The retention period depends on the context in which we collected the data and our legal obligations.

Specifically:

When we no longer need your personal data, we will securely delete or anonymize it. If deletion is not immediately possible (for example, because the data has been stored in backup archives), we will securely isolate your data from any further processing until deletion is possible.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption of data in transit using TLS/SSL and encryption of sensitive data at rest.
• Regular security assessments, vulnerability scanning, and penetration testing.
• Access controls that limit employee access to personal data on a need-to-know basis.
• Monitoring and logging of access to systems containing personal data.
• Incident response procedures for detecting, reporting, and investigating data breaches.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to promptly notifying affected users and relevant authorities in the event of a data breach, in accordance with applicable law.
