  • If there are changes in our sharing practices, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly. It is advisable to review this section periodically for any amendments. 
  • DATA SECURITY
  • All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard protocols. This ensures that your information remains confidential during the transmission process. Your information is stored on secure servers with access controls and authentication mechanisms in place. We employ data storage practices to safeguard against unauthorized access or breaches.
  • Access to your information is restricted to authorized personnel who require it to perform specific functions. Our access controls are regularly reviewed and updated to align with best practices in data security.
  • Sensitive information, such as payment details, is encrypted using secure encryption algorithms. This adds an additional layer of protection, making it extremely difficult for unauthorized parties to access or decipher the data.
  • We conduct regular security audits and assessments to identify and address potential vulnerabilities in our systems. This proactive approach helps us stay ahead of emerging threats and ensures continuous improvement in our security measures.
  • When engaging third-party service providers, we assess their security measures to ensure they meet our standards for data protection. These providers are contractually obligated to implement security measures consistent with industry norms.
  • In the event of a data security incident, we have established incident response protocols to promptly identify, contain, and mitigate the impact. We are committed to transparently communicating with affected parties and relevant authorities as required by applicable laws.
  • For account-related activities, we implement user authentication measures to verify the identity of individuals accessing sensitive information. This includes strong password requirements and multi-factor authentication where applicable.
  • While we implement robust security measures to safeguard your data, it is important to acknowledge that no platform can guarantee absolute security. Despite our best efforts, information transmitted over the internet or stored electronically is inherently subject to potential risks and vulnerabilities. Unforeseen circumstances, including but not limited to malicious attacks, technological advancements, or unforeseen system vulnerabilities, may pose challenges to the security of any online platform, including ABSI. Achieving and maintaining a secure environment is a collaborative effort. We encourage users to stay informed about security best practices, report any potential vulnerabilities, and actively participate in safeguarding their own data. 
  • DATA RETENTION POLICIES
  • We will keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this Privacy Policy will require us keeping your personal information for longer than twelve (12) months past the termination of a user's account.
  • When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
  • We regularly review our data retention practices to ensure that we only retain personal information for as long as necessary. If you have any questions about our data retention practices or wish to request the deletion of your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided in the "Contact Information" section of this Privacy Policy. Please note that certain legal or regulatory requirements may require us to retain your personal information for a longer period of time. In such cases, we will ensure that your personal information is protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable laws.
