7) International Transfers
We and some providers may process data outside your country. Where GDPR requires it, we rely on:
- Adequacy decisions (Art. 45 GDPR), and/or

You may request a copy of relevant transfer safeguards by contacting us.

We periodically review and securely delete or anonymize data that is no longer required.
9) Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data (e.g., HTTPS, access controls). No method is 100% secure; residual risk always exists.
10) Supervisory Authorities (Examples)
You may lodge a complaint with your local authority. Examples:
- EEA: See the EDPB list of DPAs
