IV. Security of Your Personal Information

When we collect and process personal information, and for the period during which we retain it, we will protect it in a commercially reasonable and acceptable manner to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. Although we will do our best to protect the personal information you provide to us, we remind you that no electronic transmission or storage method is 100% secure and no one can guarantee absolute data security. You are responsible for choosing any password and its overall security strength to ensure the security of your own information within the scope of our services. For example, ensure that any passwords associated with accessing your personal information and account are secure and confidential.

V. How long do we retain your personal information?

We only retain your personal information for as long as we need it. This period may depend on the purpose for which we use your information. For example, if you have an account, we may retain the relevant information for the duration of your account; if you only make a one-time inquiry, we will delete or anonymize the relevant information after the inquiry is completed, if it complies with legal requirements. However, if necessary, we may retain your personal information in order to comply with legal, accounting or reporting obligations, or for public interest, scientific, historical research purposes or statistical purposes.
