Once the information has reached the limit of its retention period or has fulfilled its intended purpose, it is securely deleted or anonymized.

We employ a variety of security measures designed to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These procedures include, but are not limited to, the use of encryption, regular security audits, and robust access control mechanisms. Our commitment to ensuring that all data is processed in a secure environment is paramount to our operational practices.

Data we collect is stored on servers with advanced firewall protection and is only accessible to staff members who require it to perform their official duties. We regularly update our security protocols in response to new vulnerabilities and legal requirements, ensuring a dynamic, responsive approach to data protection.
