Data Retention Policy

Effective Date: May 12, 2023

 

Welcome to Brotherly Technology LLC (“we,” “us,” “our”). This Data Retention Policy explains our practices for retaining different types of data that we collect through our services and our website www.brotherlytechnology.com.

 

1. Scope of this Policy

This policy applies to all data stored in our systems, including client data, system logs, backups, and other data we generate or collect in the course of our operations.

 

2. Principles of Data Retention

  • Purpose Limitation: We only retain data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
  • Data Minimization: We ensure that we only store the minimum amount of data necessary for our operations and services.
  • Accuracy: We take reasonable steps to ensure the data we retain is accurate and up-to-date.
  • Security: We ensure that the data we retain is securely stored and managed according to our Privacy and Security Policies.

 

3. Retention Periods

  • Client Data: We retain client data for as long as the client maintains an account with us, or as otherwise necessary to provide our services. Following termination or deactivation of an account, we may retain some data for legal, security or fraud prevention purposes, or for legitimate business interests such as analysis and recordkeeping integrity.
  • System Logs: System logs are retained for a period of one year or as required by law, whichever is longer.
  • Backups: Data backups are retained for a period of 90 days. After this period, backups are deleted in a manner that ensures the data cannot be restored.

 

4. Data Deletion

When we delete data, we follow safe procedures to ensure that the data is permanently erased and cannot be recovered. 

 

5. Requesting Data Deletion

Clients may request deletion of their data. Upon receiving a deletion request, we will remove all applicable data within 30 days, unless this data must be retained for legal reasons or legitimate business purposes.

 

6. Changes to This Data Retention Policy

We may update our Data Retention Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Data Retention Policy on this page and updating the “effective date” at the top of this Data Retention Policy.
