Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, your relationship with us, and applicable legal requirements.
8. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to help protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
