We use industry-standard measures (e.g., encryption, firewalls, SSL) to protect data. However, no system is 100% secure—use strong passwords and report issues immediately. We notify you of breaches as required by law.
6. Data Retention
We retain data as long as your account is active or as needed to provide Services, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes. Upon account deletion or inactivity, we anonymize or delete data within a reasonable period (e.g., chats via Stream Chat follow their retention rules).
