Rupert cares deeply about data security. To the effect, Rupert protects Personal Information with industry standard technical and organizational measures to secure the information we store.

• Regularly conduct security awareness training sessions with all employees.
• Maintain detailed audit logs of all internal systems.
• Access control protocols to restrict data availability to those parties who need it

.While we implement safeguards designed to protect your information, no security system is impenetrable and due to the inherent nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that Personal Information, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our systems or otherwise in our care, is absolutely safe from intrusion by others.

7. DATA RETENTION

We keep Personal Information for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. The length of time for which we retain Personal Information depends on the purposes for which we collected and use it and/or as required to comply with applicable laws.

In certain situations, we may be required to disclose Personal Information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. We may disclose Personal Information to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims. We may also share such information if we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or act regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our Service Terms and Conditions, or as otherwise required by law.

This policy describes the categories of Personal Information we may collect, the sources of that Personal Information, and our deletion and retention policies.
