We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active. After account deletion, we retain your data for up to 30 days to allow for recovery, after which it is permanently deleted from our systems. Billing records may be retained for longer periods as required by law.

6. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest, access controls, and secure cloud hosting. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
