6) How do We store and protect your data?

Security and protection of your data is important to Us. We use physical, technological, and process means to safeguard your information.

Our Retention, Purpose Limitation, and Security Policies

We protect your Personal Data through a combination of collection, security, and retention policies:
  • Limited retention: We only keep your Personal Data for as long as We need it for business and operational needs or to comply with any statutory, regulatory, or legal obligations.

  • Purpose limitation: We will use your Personal Data only for the Services you choose to access and for the purposes for which you choose to share it. We will respect your requests to start or stop processing your Personal Data for marketing purposes, as well as the types of marketing messages you may wish to receive.
  • Security measures: We use appropriate measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk involved and have implemented contractual, technical, administrative, and physical security measures designed to protect Personal Data from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, and modification.


As part of Our privacy compliance processes, We review these security procedures on an ongoing basis to consider new technology and methods as necessary. However, please understand that Our implementation of security measures as described in this Privacy Policy does not guarantee the security of your Personal Data.
In the event of a security breach, We will notify the proper regulatory authorities and any affected users of the breach within 72 hours after We become aware of the breach.

Your Practices and Activities

Your practices and activities are likewise very important for the protection of your own Personal Data. You can take certain steps to help protect your Personal Data, such as being mindful of what you share publicly in Software. For example:

As part of your withdrawl of consent We will delete all data related to you and your associated email address that you used in creating your account but you will otherwise not suffer any other detriment for withdrawing consent. If you withdraw your consent, this will not make processing which We undertook before you withdrew your consent unlawful.
