We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS/SSL), access controls, regular security audits, and monitoring. However, no internet transmission is completely secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
7. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Domain-related data may be retained longer due to regulatory requirements.
