Certain information may need to be retained for longer periods where legally required or necessary to address outstanding transactions, disputes, or other legitimate business requirements.
8. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or misuse.
Depending on the services and systems used, these measures may include access controls, security monitoring, website protection, secure connections, and safeguards provided by our hosting and payment service providers.
However, no website, electronic transmission, or data storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Although we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
