How Long We Store Personal Data

How We Protect Your Personal Data
To ensure the protection of your security, we use the transport layer security protocol to transmit personal information in our system.
All data stored in our system are well secured and are only accessible to our employees. Our employees are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and a violation of this agreement would result in the employee's dismissal.
While we take all reasonable precautions to ensure that our user data is secure and that users are protected, there always remains the risk of harm. The Internet as a whole can be insecure at times and therefore we are unable to guarantee the security of user data beyond what is reasonably practical.

You can choose to delete or change your consent to the collection and use of data at any time, provided that it is legally acceptable to do so and you have informed us within a reasonable time frame.
