12. Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to operate our business, maintain records, provide requested communications, analyze website performance, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect our rights.
Different types of information may be retained for different periods.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information under our control.
However, no website, email service, storage system, or transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or through the website.
