7. How long we keep personal information
Your personal information shall be retained only for the duration necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice, except where extended retention periods are mandated or permitted by law, including but not limited to tax regulations, accounting requirements, or other legal obligations. The purposes described herein do not necessitate retention of your personal information beyond a period of two years.
Upon cessation of legitimate business necessity for processing your personal information, we shall either permanently delete or irreversibly anonymize such data. In instances where immediate deletion or anonymization is not technically feasible (such as data stored in backup systems), such personal information shall be securely maintained in isolation from active processing until permanent deletion becomes technically practicable.

Notwithstanding these protective measures, please be advised that no method of electronic transmission or digital storage system can ensure absolute security. While we employ industry-standard protections, we cannot guarantee complete immunity from unauthorized access, acquisition, or alteration of your information by third parties who may circumvent our security infrastructure. Therefore, any transmission of personal information in connection with our Services carries inherent risks. We recommend accessing our Services only through secure networks and environments to minimize potential vulnerabilities.

Our Services are intended solely for users aged 18 and above. We neither intentionally gather information from nor direct marketing activities toward individuals under 18 years of age. Furthermore, we do not engage in the sale of personal information belonging to minors under 18.
Your use of our Services constitutes an affirmation that you have reached the age of majority (18 years) or are a parent/legal guardian consenting to a minor dependent's use of the Services. Upon discovery of any personal information collected from users under 18, we shall promptly terminate the associated account and implement reasonable procedures to delete such data from our systems. Please notify our Data Protection team at dpo@r11n.io if you become aware of any information we may have inadvertently collected from individuals under 18.

11. Do-not-track Features
We acknowledge that various web browsers, mobile operating systems, and applications offer Do-Not-Track ("DNT") functionality to indicate your tracking preferences for online activities. However, due to the current absence of a standardized implementation protocol for DNT signals across the digital ecosystem, our systems do not presently recognize or process such signals. Should industry-wide standards for DNT signal processing be established and legally mandated, we will update our practices accordingly and notify you through revisions to this Privacy Notice.
Specific to California privacy regulations, we are required to disclose our response to DNT browser signals. Given the lack of established industry or legal standards regarding DNT signal recognition and processing, we do not currently alter our data collection practices in response to these signals.

This Privacy Notice may be periodically revised to reflect changes in our practices. Material updates will be indicated by a new "Last Modified" date at the beginning of this Notice. We reserve the right to notify you of significant changes either through prominent website notifications or direct communications. Regular review of this Privacy Notice is recommended to stay informed about our data protection practices and your privacy rights.’

Subject to the privacy laws of your jurisdiction (country or U.S. state of residence), you may be entitled to: request details about your personal information in our systems, understand our processing activities, rectify inaccurate data, obtain copies of your information, or request its deletion. Additionally, you may have the right to revoke previously granted authorization for processing your personal information. Please note that certain legal restrictions may limit the exercise of these rights.
