These safeguards may include transfers to countries recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection, the use of approved contractual safeguards, or another lawful transfer mechanism.

Data Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

These measures may include access controls, secure systems, encryption technologies, SSL/TLS protection, authentication measures, backups, monitoring, and restrictions on access to personal information.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage system can guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including providing our services, maintaining business and transaction records, complying with legal, accounting, and tax obligations, resolving disputes, and establishing or defending legal claims.

The applicable retention period may depend on the nature of the information, our relationship with you, contractual requirements, legal obligations, and applicable limitation periods.

When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete, destroy, or anonymise it.
