• Automatic technical information is retained for a shorter period consistent with the operational and security requirements of the website.

After the retention period expires, personal information is deleted or fully anonymised.

8. International Data Transfers

SorbiTech Group operates internationally across multiple jurisdictions. Some of the service providers we use (including Google, Microsoft, and Cloudflare) may process information in other jurisdictions. Where information is transferred outside your country of residence, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, including reliance on standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms where required by applicable data protection law.
