9. Data Security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed.

10. Data Retention
We will retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any applicable legal, accounting, tax, or reporting obligations. Once the relevant purpose no longer applies (for example, upon termination of your user account, completion of a service, or expiry of any legal retention obligation), we will delete or irreversibly anonymize your personal data, unless we are required or permitted to retain it for longer under EU or Luxembourg law. In some cases, we may retain personal data for longer periods solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes, in accordance with Article 89(1) GDPR. Any such extended retention will be subject to appropriate technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect your rights and freedoms, in particular to respect the principle of data minimization. These safeguards may include pseudonymization (where the purposes can be achieved in that form) or other measures that ensure the data can no longer be linked to you without disproportionate effort. Where possible, we will use fully anonymized data instead.
