Our security measures include using respected hosting services, firewalls, electronic security procedures, and managerial procedures.
In the event of a suspected personal data breach, we have procedures in place to address it promptly and will notify you and applicable regulators as required by law.
Please note that when you use the internet to transmit personal data, it may be transmitted internationally. For example, our hosting and storage systems have data centers in the United States.

Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. This includes satisfying legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. We evaluate data retention based on factors like the data’s volume, nature, sensitivity, potential risks, processing purposes, and legal obligations.
For tax purposes, we are required to retain basic customer information for five years after they cease to be customers. In certain situations, we may anonymize your personal data for research or statistical purposes, allowing us to use it indefinitely without additional notice.
