Contact messages and related correspondence are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, address the matter raised, maintain an appropriate record, or meet a legal obligation.
Technical and security logs may be retained according to the practices of the hosting or security provider.
Information may remain temporarily in routine backups after it has been removed from active systems. It will be deleted or overwritten according to the applicable backup schedule.
9. Protection of Information
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
