We will retain your personal information only for the period required to achieve the purposes defined in this privacy notice, unless an extended retention period is mandated or permitted by law (e.g., tax, accounting, or other legal obligations). No objective in this notice will necessitate retaining your personal information beyond the duration of users' account association with us.
Upon concluding any legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize the information. In cases where immediate deletion or anonymization isn't feasible (e.g., due to storage in backup archives), we will securely store your personal information, isolating it from further processing until deletion becomes viable.
7. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In Short: We employ a robust system of organizational and technical security measures to safeguard your personal information.
Our commitment to securing personal information is reflected in the implementation of appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures. These measures are meticulously designed to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the personal information we process. Despite our dedicated safeguards and continuous efforts to fortify the security of your information, it is crucial to acknowledge that no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be absolutely guaranteed to be 100% secure.
We diligently strive to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, but we cannot warrant or guarantee immunity against potential threats such as hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties. Their attempts to defeat our security measures and improperly access, steal, or modify your information are risks inherent in online interactions. While we invest our best efforts in securing your personal information, the transmission of such data to and from our Services remains at your own risk. It is advisable to access the Services within a secure environment to ensure added protection.
8. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?
