6. Data Retention

swer99 retains your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our Terms and Conditions, and prevent fraud. Specific retention periods depend on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

Marketing communication records are retained until you withdraw consent or request deletion. Usage data and analytics information may be retained in aggregated or anonymized form indefinitely for statistical and research purposes.

When your account is closed or deleted, we will securely delete or anonymize your personal information within a reasonable timeframe, unless we are required by law to retain it for longer periods.

Despite our best efforts, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and should notify swer99 immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

We recommend using strong, unique passwords, enabling two-factor authentication (if available), avoiding sharing your account credentials with third parties, logging out of your account after each session, and using secure internet connections (avoiding public WiFi for sensitive transactions).
