5. Data Security & Retention
We implement robust technical and organizational security measures, including TLS/HTTPS encryption (`Section 17`) and strict administrative access controls, to safeguard your data against unauthorized access or disclosure. We retain inquiry correspondence and server logs only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, typically not exceeding 24 months, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
