- Account or profile information such as company or organisation name, preferences, and settings

4. How We Use Personal Data
We use personal data to:
- Create and manage accounts and logins

- Process billing and purchases where applicable
- Respond to support requests
- Protect the security and integrity of our systems, including fraud prevention and service operation

5. Legal Bases
Where GDPR applies, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:
- Contract: to provide the service you request and manage your account
- Legitimate interests: to secure, maintain, and improve our website and services, and to prevent misuse
- Legal obligation: to comply with laws, tax, accounting, and regulatory requirements

6. Sharing of Data
We do not sell personal data.
We may share data with service providers and advisers only where reasonably necessary to operate our business, including hosting, payment processing, email delivery, security monitoring, and professional advisers. We may also disclose data where required by law or to protect our rights, users, or systems.
7. Retention
In general, we keep personal data, account data, audit results, and related records until you delete them from your account or your account is removed, unless we need to retain them longer for legal, security, accounting, fraud-prevention, or dispute-resolution reasons.
Session records are stored server-side and are periodically cleared out. Some operational records, logs, or backups may remain for a limited time as part of our normal systems and recovery processes.
8. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. International Transfers
Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we use appropriate safeguards where required by law.

Depending on where you are located, you may have the right to access your personal data, request deletion or erasure, and request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data where applicable. To exercise those rights, contact us at support@secdit.com or use our contact page.

Our website and services are not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
