3. Project Files and AI-Assisted Services

Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and why it was collected.

7. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we maintain. However, no website, email system, file transfer, or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You submit information electronically at your own risk.
