We implement a combination of administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Personal Data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures may include encryption in transit and at rest, firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, access controls, network monitoring, and regular security testing.
While we take reasonable steps to protect Personal Data, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot and do not guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or stored on the Platform.

When Personal Data is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, we will either delete it, anonymize it, or securely store it and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible. We may retain anonymized or aggregated information indefinitely for research, statistical analysis, or business purposes.
Please note that copies of Personal Data may remain in backup storage for a limited period after deletion and that we are not responsible for the retention practices of third parties with whom you have shared your information.
