Under Jamaican law and other applicable regulations (such as the GDPR for international users), we rely on one or more legal bases to process personal data, such as:

  • Consent you provide when you register or opt in

  • Legitimate interests (e.g., security, platform improvement)

  • Legal obligations we must satisfy

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose it was collected for and to comply with legal obligations. After that, data will be securely deleted.

9. Security Measures

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed 100% secure.
