5. Data Security

Dark Quanta is a cybersecurity company, and we take the security of your data seriously. We implement robust technical and organizational measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:

• Encryption: Using encryption technologies (e.g., SSL/TLS) to protect data transmitted over our Website.

• Access Controls: Implementing strict access controls to restrict who can access your personal information within our organization.

• Regular Security Audits: Conducting regular security assessments and penetration testing to identify and address vulnerabilities.

• Employee Training: Training our employees on data privacy and security best practices.

• Data Minimization: Collecting only the information necessary for the stated purposes.

While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as for legal, tax, or accounting requirements). When we no longer have a legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

By using our Website or providing us with your information, you consent to such transfers.

We take appropriate measures to ensure that your personal information receives an adequate level of protection when transferred across borders, such as relying on standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms.
