Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. The specific retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the context in which it was collected.

For client data related to active projects and ongoing service engagements, we retain relevant information for the duration of our business relationship plus a reasonable period afterward to address any post-engagement matters. Financial records and transaction data are retained in accordance with applicable tax and accounting requirements, which typically range from three to seven years depending on the jurisdiction.

If you have opted in to receive marketing communications, we will retain your contact preferences until you unsubscribe or request removal of your data from our marketing systems.

When information is no longer required for the purposes described in this policy, it will be securely disposed of or anonymized to prevent unauthorized access or use. Our data disposal procedures include permanent deletion of digital files, secure erasure of storage media, and confidential shredding of physical documents.

Data Security

Protecting your personal information is a priority for QWANDERY INC. We have implemented comprehensive technical, administrative, and physical security measures to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security program is regularly reviewed and updated to address emerging threats and vulnerabilities.

We employ industry-standard encryption protocols including TLS/SSL for data transmitted between your browser and our servers. Stored data is protected using encryption at rest with strong cryptographic algorithms. Access to personal information within our organization is restricted to employees and contractors who have a legitimate business need to access such data, and all access is logged and audited on a regular basis.

Our physical security measures include restricted access to our office facilities, secure storage for physical records, and visitor management procedures. Our technical security controls include firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, regular vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and security incident response procedures. All employees receive training on data protection best practices and are required to acknowledge our information security policies annually.

Despite our best efforts, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you and relevant regulatory authorities in accordance with applicable legal requirements. We maintain cyber liability insurance and have incident response plans in place to minimize the impact of any security incident.

International Data Transfers

As a company operating globally in the field of computer systems design and consulting, QWANDERY INC. may transfer your personal information to countries other than your country of residence. These transfers may be necessary to provide our services, support our global operations, or comply with legal obligations. When we transfer your data across international borders, we take appropriate safeguards to ensure your information receives adequate protection.

We rely on standard contractual clauses approved by relevant regulatory authorities, data processing agreements, and other lawful transfer mechanisms to legitimize cross-border data flows. Our service providers located in different jurisdictions are contractually required to maintain data protection standards equivalent to those described in this policy. We regularly review our international data transfer practices to ensure ongoing compliance with applicable data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation where it applies.

If you have questions about the specific safeguards applied to your data during international transfers, please contact our data protection team using the information provided at the end of this policy. We will provide you with details about the transfer mechanisms we rely on and the protections available to your data.

Right to Rectification: If you believe that any personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction of such information. We will make the necessary updates promptly upon verification of your identity and the accuracy of the corrected data.

Right to Erasure: Under certain circumstances, you may request deletion of your personal information, including when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, you withdraw your consent, or the processing is unlawful. We will evaluate your request against applicable legal requirements and may retain certain information where required by law.

Right to Restrict Processing: You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal information under certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to processing that is based on legitimate interests. While processing is restricted, we will store your data but not further process it except with your consent or for legal purposes.

Right to Data Portability: Where technically feasible and where processing is based on consent or contract, you have the right to receive your personal information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance.

Right to Object: You have the right to object to processing of your personal information based on legitimate interests, including profiling. Where we process your data for direct marketing purposes, you have an absolute right to object at any time without providing a reason.

Right to Withdraw Consent: If we process your information based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the contact information provided in this policy. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request and reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee for repetitive or manifestly unfounded requests.
