6. How We Store Your Personal Data
6.1 Data Security Measures

We take reasonable steps to protect the Personal Data collected via the Services from
loss, misuse, unauthorized use, access, inadvertent disclosure, alteration, and
destruction. These steps include implementing physical, technical, and
administrative security measures. Some of the specific measures we take include:

 Encryption: We use industry-standard encryption technologies to secure your


personal data both in transit and at rest. This means that data transmitted
between your device and our servers, as well as data stored on our servers, is
encrypted to prevent unauthorized access.

 Access Controls: We implement strict access controls to ensure that only


authorized personnel have access to personal data. Access to personal data is
granted on a need-to-know basis and is subject to regular reviews.

 Firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems: Our network is protected by


firewalls and intrusion detection systems that monitor and block
unauthorized access attempts.

 Regular Security Audits: We conduct regular security audits and assessments


to identify and address potential vulnerabilities in our systems. This includes
vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and code reviews.

 Data Anonymization and Minimization: Where possible, we anonymize and


minimize the personal data we collect and store. This reduces the risk
associated with data breaches and unauthorized access.
6.2 Data Storage Locations

Your personal data may be stored on servers located in various jurisdictions,


including the United States and other countries. We ensure that data stored in these
locations is subject to appropriate safeguards and protection measures, regardless of
where it is stored.
6.3 Retention of Personal Data

We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined
in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by
law. After this period, your data will be deleted or anonymized. Specifically:
 Account Information: We retain your account information for as long as your
account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter in case you decide to
re-activate the Services. We also retain some information to comply with our
legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, support business
operations, and continue to develop and improve our Services.

 Transaction Data: We retain transaction data related to purchases, ticketing,


and other financial transactions for audit, tax, and compliance purposes.

 Communications: We may retain communications with you (including emails


and chat logs) for a period necessary to address your requests, provide
customer service, and for training and quality assurance purposes.
6.4 Data Breach Response

In the event of a data breach that compromises your personal data, we have a data
breach response plan in place. This plan includes:

 Immediate Containment and Investigation: We will take immediate steps to


contain the breach and conduct a thorough investigation to determine the
scope and impact of the breach.

 Notification: If your personal data has been compromised, we will notify you
as soon as possible, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. This
notification will include details about the breach, the data affected, and steps
we are taking to address the breach and prevent future incidents.

 Remediation: We will take all necessary steps to mitigate the impact of the
breach and prevent future occurrences, including enhancing our security
measures and processes.
6.5 User Responsibilities

While we take significant measures to protect your personal data, it is also important
for you to take steps to protect your data. This includes:

 Choosing a Strong Password: Ensure that you use a strong and unique
password for your Turn App account and change it regularly.

 Protecting Your Account Credentials: Do not share your account credentials


with others, and be cautious of phishing attempts or other forms of social
engineering.

 Keeping Software Updated: Ensure that your devices and software,


including your browser and operating system, are kept up-to-date with the
latest security patches and updates.

By implementing these measures, both Turn App and its users can work together to
ensure the highest level of data protection and security. However, it is important to
acknowledge that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of
electronic storage is completely secure. Therefore, while we strive to use
commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee
its absolute security.
