6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the reason it was collected, website security requirements, and applicable legal obligations. Information may be deleted, anonymized, or securely disposed of when it is no longer reasonably required.
