Security

We use a combination of administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security and correctly use the information we collect from and about you. However, no system can be completely secure, and we do not guarantee that unauthorized disclosures and access will not happen.

Data Retention

We will retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and processed, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements.
