Anonymized and aggregated data that cannot be used to identify you may be retained indefinitely for analytics and service improvement purposes.

If your account is inactive (no login) for twelve (12) consecutive months, we may designate it as inactive and reserve the right to delete it after providing thirty (30) days’ notice to the email address associated with the account.

6. DATA SECURITY

We implement commercially reasonable technical, administrative, and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit (SSL/TLS), secure storage practices, access controls limiting who within our organization can access personal data, and regular security reviews.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for any activity under your account.
