Subject to applicable law, users may request access to their personal data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion in appropriate cases, or objection to certain processing. Some requests may be limited where we must keep information for legal, security, or operational reasons.

Available rights depend on the nature of the data and the legal basis for processing.

To protect privacy and security, we may ask for information needed to verify a request before acting on it. We will review requests within a reasonable period and respond in accordance with applicable legal requirements and the nature of the request.

Requests are handled after reasonable verification of identity and scope.

We retain personal data for the period needed to provide services, maintain records, resolve disputes, meet legal obligations, and support legitimate business needs. When data is no longer required, we delete it, anonymise it, or restrict it so that it is no longer actively used, subject to applicable retention requirements.

Records are kept only for as long as needed for the relevant purpose or legal requirement.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised version on the website and change the effective date where appropriate. Users should review the policy periodically to stay informed about how information is handled.

The policy may be revised when our practices, services, or legal obligations change.
