How long we retain your data

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Where we send your data

Additional information

Retention

The Personal Data you submit to us will only be retained for as long as is required for the purposes for which it was collected and/or as required under our data retention policies. Retention periods will be determined taking into account the type and the purpose of information that is collected, and the requirements applicable to the situation and the need to destroy outdated and/or unused information at the earliest reasonable time. Under applicable regulations, we will keep records containing client Personal Data, account opening documents, communications and anything else as required by applicable laws and regulations.

How we protect your data

SecLinQ uses technical and organizational measures to protect the Personal Information that we store, transmit, or otherwise process, against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. We regularly consider appropriate new security technology and methods as we maintain and develop our software and systems.

We comply with ISO27001 guidelines and we do regular security testing to our systems.

Please recognize that protecting your Personal Information is also your responsibility. We urge you to take every precaution to protect your information when you are on the Internet, such as using a strong password, keeping your password secret. If you have reason to believe that the security of your data might have been compromised (for example, your password has been leaked), or if you suspect someone else is using your account, please let us know immediately.

The security of your personal information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
