6. Data Retention
We retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. The appropriate retention period depends on the nature of the data, the purposes for which it was collected, and applicable legal requirements.
When your Personal Data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymize it. In some cases, we may retain anonymized or aggregated data that can no longer identify you for analytics and research purposes.
7. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
We will not make decisions about you that produce legal or similarly significant effects based solely on automated processing, unless we have assessed that processing against applicable legal requirements and documented our conclusions accordingly.
Where we use automated tools or AI-assisted analysis to evaluate data (for example, in fraud detection or compliance screening), meaningful human oversight is applied before any significant action is taken. You have the right to request human review of any automated decision that materially affects you.
8. Data Security
We implement technical and organizational measures designed to protect your Personal Data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular security assessments.
While we take reasonable precautions, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. If we become aware of a security breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and relevant authorities as required by law.
