How We Protect and Retain Personal Information

No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is fully secure. While we use reasonable efforts to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee its security. If we are required to inform you about a security incident, we will do so electronically, in writing, or by phone, as the law permits.

We keep your personal information for only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes in this Privacy Notice unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. This includes the purposes of satisfying legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information. We also weigh the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the personal information, the purposes for which we obtained the personal information and whether we can meet those purposes through other means, as well as applicable legal requirements.
