6. Data Retention

We retain account and transaction records for as long as needed to provide services and meet legal obligations. You may request deletion of your account; some records must be kept for compliance.

We use encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls, and periodic reviews. No method is 100% secure; please use strong passwords and enable available protections.

9. International Transfers

If data is processed outside your country, we apply appropriate safeguards (e.g., contractual clauses) as required by law.
