7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, including to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the context in which it was collected.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
