You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, where we rely on your consent to use your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

How do we protect your data?

We are committed to safeguarding your personal data and implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures to prevent unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, or destruction of your personal data. We use encryption, firewalls, passwords, and other security tools to protect your personal data. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal data. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials and devices secure and confidential. You should not share your password with anyone or use the same password for different accounts or services. You should also notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized access or use of your account or personal data.

How long do we keep your data?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for your personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we use your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

We may anonymize your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
