7. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate SkillSeeds, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and maintain platform integrity.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards to protect user data. However, no online platform or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, or objection to certain processing of your information.

You may request deletion of your account and personal information, subject to legal, fraud prevention, security, accounting, or platform integrity requirements.
