We may retain information longer where necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; resolve disputes; address security issues; or meet legal and regulatory requirements.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
These measures may include restricted access to business information, account-access controls, secure website connections, form-security tools, security monitoring, and procedures intended to limit access to uploaded project information to authorized personnel.
