4. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it. Automated log data is generally retained for no more than 90 days unless required for security investigation or legal compliance.

5. Data Security

We implement commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These include encryption in transit (TLS/HTTPS), access controls, and regular security assessments.
