5. HOW INFORMATION IS SECURED

We retain information as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy. Additionally, we retain personal information to comply with laws, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with investigations, enforce our Terms of Service, and take other actions permitted by law. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, and the purposes of processing.

We employ industry-standard security measures to protect information submitted through the Services. However, the security of information transmitted through the internet can never be guaranteed. Users are responsible for maintaining the security of any passwords, biometrics, user IDs, or other forms of authentication involved in accessing password-protected or secure areas of our digital services. We may suspend your use of any Services without notice pending an investigation if a security breach is suspected.
