These vendors operate under strict data protection and confidentiality agreements.

These controls include encrypted transmissions (TLS/SSL), access-controlled database architectures, and continuous system monitoring.
• Retention Schedule: We retain data for as long as necessary to fulfill the operational purposes detailed in this policy, support active Client accounts, fulfill legal requirements, and resolve disputes. Upon account termination, Clients may request an export of their customer records and website assets according to our standard offboarding procedures.
