8. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including encryption, secure hosting environments, access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

9. Data Retention

We keep your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy, including legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.
