You may disable or block cookies via your browser settings; however, doing so may limit or break certain features of the Platform.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law, whichever is longer. When we no longer need the data for these purposes, we will either delete it or anonymize it.

Examples:

• For user accounts: retained while the account is active or for a period thereafter for dispute resolution
• For inquiry / support data: until resolution plus a defined archival period
• For transactional / financial records: as required by tax / regulatory law

However, no system is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security. In case of a personal data breach, we will comply with legal obligations to notify affected individuals or regulators, as required.
