How do we protect your privacy?
In accordance with this Policy, we will process Personal Data as follows:
Fairness: We will process Personal Data in a fair manner. This means that we are transparent about how we process Personal Data and will process them in accordance with applicable law.
Purpose Limitation: We will process Personal Data for specified and lawful purposes and will not process them in a manner incompatible with those purposes.
Proportionality: We will process Personal Data in a way that is proportionate to the purposes for which the processing is intended.
Data Accuracy: We take appropriate measures to ensure that the Personal Data we hold is accurate, complete, and, where necessary, up to date. However, it is also your responsibility to ensure that your Personal Data is as accurate, complete, and up to date as possible by promptly informing Distime of any changes or errors.
Data Security: We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the Personal Data we collect and process about you. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk involved in processing your Personal Data. We have implemented, directly or indirectly through our providers, measures such as secure system access, physical safety measures (e.g., fire prevention, detection, and response), backup systems, network security, logical access protection, authorized personnel list, and authentication systems.
Data Retention: We retain the Personal Data we collect from you for as long as we have a legitimate business need for it (e.g., to provide a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax, or accounting requirements). When we no longer have a legitimate business need to process your Personal Data, we will either delete or anonymize it, or if that is not possible (e.g., when your Personal Data has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Withdrawal of Consent: If we have collected and processed your personal data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
