9. Data retention
We retain account records and transaction data for a minimum of seven years from account closure, and identity verification documents for at least seven years, in each case to satisfy our legal obligations. Where data is no longer required, we securely destroy or de-identify it.
10. Security
We implement industry-standard technical and organisational security measures, including encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, multi-factor authentication for staff, and regular security assessments.
