Other useful privacy & data security related matters

Retention

We retain personal information for as long as we reasonably require it for legal or business purposes. We will take all necessary steps to ensure that the privacy of information is maintained for the period of retention.

Security

We recognise that online security and data protection is an area of vital importance for all our customers, so it is important to us that you have confidence in the security of your personal details. We are committed to employing security measures to protect your information from access by unauthorised persons and to prevent accidental or unlawful processing, disclosure, destruction, loss, alteration and damage. Our technological security solutions are advanced and are governed by a mature framework. Our approach is focused on preventing risks. In order to help us in this regard, we employ encryption of data whenever possible to reduce the impact of any potential incidents. As the security of some communications via the internet is not completely secure, we cannot guarantee the security of any information that you disclose using your internet connection. You accept the inherent security implications of using the internet and Projentum will accept no liability for any direct, consequential, incidental, indirect, or punitive losses or damages arising out of such an occurrence.
