For legal reasons — when required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and property of Deevee, our users, or the public.

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Platform, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the right to be informed, to access, to object, to rectify, to erase or block, and to data portability with respect to your personal information. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

6. Security

We implement reasonable organizational, physical, and technical measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
