The Services may provide links to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties.

Security and Retention of Your Information

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. However, no method of transmitting or storing information is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to provide our services, maintain customer and order records, comply with legal, tax and accounting obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. The exact retention period may vary depending on the type of information and the reason we hold it.
