We keep booking and account records for as long as needed to provide services, resolve disputes, and meet legal retention requirements. When data is no longer required, we delete or anonymize it where practicable.

We use industry-standard measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and Row Level Security on our database. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
