No purpose in this notice will require us to keep your personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have an account with us.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in back-up archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

We take precautions to protect your information. Wherever we collect personal and/or sensitive information that information is encrypted and transmitted in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the address bar of your web browser or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.
While we and/or our vendors and third-party service providers use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only Scorefol.io directors or contractors who need the information to perform a specific job (e.g. billing, customer service, call for works judging) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
However, no electronic transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from Scorefol.io is at your own risk. You should only access Scorefol.io within a secure environment.
