Where required, we obtain explicit consent for specific processing activities, particularly those related to marketing communications and optional services.

All third-party relationships are governed by comprehensive data processing agreements that ensure appropriate protection of your personal information.
Data sharing may occur with payment processors for transaction handling, identity verification services for compliance purposes, regulatory authorities when legally required, and technology service providers who support our platform operations. We ensure that all third parties maintain appropriate security measures and process data only for specified purposes under our instruction.
6. Data Retention Periods
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. Retention periods are determined based on the nature of the information, the purposes for which it is processed, and applicable legal requirements.
Generally, account information is retained for the duration of your relationship with us and for seven years following account closure to meet regulatory requirements.
