Should you suspect that your interaction with us has become insecure (for instance, if you believe the security of your account has been compromised), we urge you to contact us without delay.

We retain your personal data for as long as we are providing services to you and continue to retain it after ceasing such services, to the extent necessary to fulfill our legal and regulatory obligations, and for the purpose of fraud monitoring, detection, and prevention.

It is acknowledged that these countries may have data protection regulations that differ from those in your country. Nevertheless, we commit to implementing measures to ensure that any such data transfers adhere to applicable data protection laws and maintain your personal data's protection as delineated in this Privacy Notice.
