GDPR Policy
Our commitment to the General Data Protection Regulation.
1.Overview
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the European Union's data protection law that applies to organisations processing personal data of individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA).

- Data minimisation — transferring only what is necessary for service delivery
9.Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Our retention periods are determined by:
- The nature of the data and the purpose of processing
- Legal and regulatory retention requirements
- Legitimate business needs (e.g., audit trail requirements)
When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised.
10.Security Measures
We implement technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk, including:
- Encryption of data in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256)
- Role-based access controls with least-privilege principle
