7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We retain your information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice, unless required by law.

We store your personal data for as long as needed to achieve the purposes stated in this Privacy Notice or as mandated by legal obligations (e.g., tax, accounting, or regulatory requirements). Once there is no longer a legitimate business need to process your data, we will delete or anonymize it. If deletion is not feasible (e.g., due to backup archives), we will securely store and restrict access to your data until removal is possible.

8. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

We implement technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee full protection against unauthorized access. You should only use our Services in a secure environment.

9. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

We do not knowingly collect or market to children under 18. By using our Services, you confirm you are at least 18 or have parental consent. If we discover data from minors, we will delete it. Report any such data concerns to legal@s4igroups.com.

11. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK (DNT) FEATURES

Most web browsers and some mobile systems offer a DNT feature to prevent online tracking. However, no uniform standard exists for recognizing these signals, so we do not respond to them. If a standard is established in the future, we will update our Privacy Notice accordingly. California law requires us to disclose our stance on DNT signals, but due to the absence of an industry standard, we currently do not honor them.

12. PRIVACY RIGHTS FOR U.S. RESIDENTS

Residents of certain U.S. states have rights regarding their personal data, including access, correction, deletion, and consent withdrawal. These rights vary by state and may be limited by applicable laws.

User Rights: Depending on state laws, users may request access to their data, deletion, correction, and opt-out of targeted advertising or profiling. Some states grant additional rights, such as limiting the use of sensitive data and obtaining a list of third parties who received their information.

How to Exercise These Rights: Users can submit requests via our website, email, or phone. Identity verification may be required. Authorized agents may make requests on behalf of users with proper documentation.
