Data from Our Own Services

4. OUR DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL DATA

• We use encryption for data transmissions where appropriate.
• We restrict access to personal data to authorized personnel only.
• We maintain security protocols to prevent unauthorized access.
• However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. DATA RETENTION

We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. When determining how long to retain personal data, we consider:

• The need to maintain accurate records.
