Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes stated in our Privacy Policy or as required by law. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

Automated Decision Making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human oversight.
