Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal data we process. However, please be aware that no system can be 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
