We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying legal, accounting, tax and reporting obligations.

These measures may include:
Secure website connections using SSL/TLS encryption
Restricted access to personal information
Secure payment processing through Stripe

Appropriate access controls and authentication procedures
