We use commercially reasonable physical, administrative and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal data. Avidsen provides various security strategies to effectively ensure the security of user data and devices. With respect to access to devices, Avidsen’s proprietary algorithms are employed to ensure data isolation, authentication upon access, and authorization request.

Data retention
We process your personal data for the minimum period necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless we have a specific legal requirement to retain the data for a longer retention period.
