We do not collect sensitive personal information, such as gender, date of birth, personal emails, or home addresses.

7. Security of Data
Achivix employs strict security measures to protect your business data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. Our security protocols include encryption, secure servers, and limited access to sensitive data by authorized personnel only. Despite these measures, no online system can guarantee absolute security, and you share data with us at your own risk.
8. Data Retention
We retain business data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including compliance with legal obligations, dispute resolution, and contract enforcement. Once the data is no longer needed for its intended purpose, it will be securely deleted or anonymized.
