Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our Service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.

    Retention Criteria. We determine retention periods based on the nature of the data, the purposes for which it is processed, and legal requirements. Where feasible, we anonymize or aggregate data instead of retaining it in a form that identifies you. When data is no longer needed, it will be securely deleted or anonymized.

    7. Transfer and Storage of Data

    AI ReFounder is based in British Columbia, Canada. We store and process your information, including Personal Data, on servers located in the United States (AWS us-east-1 region).

    For Canadian residents: Please be aware that personal information stored in the United States may be accessible to US government authorities, law enforcement, or national security agencies under applicable US laws (such as the USA PATRIOT Act or the CLOUD Act). We want you to understand this before providing your personal information.

    Accountability. Regardless of where your data is stored, AI ReFounder remains responsible for its protection in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy laws, including PIPEDA and BC PIPA. We do not transfer personal information to third-party service providers without ensuring comparable safeguards are in place through contractual agreements, such as Data Processing Addendums (DPAs).

    International Transfers & Safeguards. Where required by applicable law, we use safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses, Data Processing Addendums, and comparable mechanisms to protect personal information transferred across borders. This includes, where applicable, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or other approved transfer mechanisms.

    9. Security of Data

    While recognizing the importance of securing your data, we understand that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Nevertheless, we will strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, but we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

    Incident Notifications. If we become aware of a data breach impacting Personal Data, we will notify affected parties and/or regulators without undue delay and in any event within the time periods required by applicable law.

However, we would never treat you unfairly just because you're exercising your rights.

    To exercise your California data protection rights described above, please send your request(s) to info@airefounder.com.
