Casium takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally identifying information.

‍
Casium discloses potential personally identifying information only on an as needed (or required) basis as follows:

• To our personnel that: (i) need to know that information in order to process it on our behalf or to provide the services; and (ii) that have expressly agreed not to disclose it to others. Note* Some of those employees, and contractors may be located outside of your home country; by using the services you consent to the transfer of such information to them.

These partners access your information only to perform tasks on our behalf, following these Privacy Policy’s guidelines. We ensure they adhere to our privacy standards.
• Your information may be shared with third-party legal or professional advisors you engage through Casium to facilitate the Services. Additionally, we may share professional advisors' information with their clients as required.
• As required by law such to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process. To the extent we are legally permitted to do so, we will take commercially reasonable steps to notify you if we are required to provide your personal information to third parties as part of a legal process.
• When we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a written government request.
• In the event of a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of Casuim’s assets, we will ensure that the acquiring organization agrees to protect personal information in accordance with the commitments we have made in this Privacy Notice, and that the acquiring organization will provide notice before personal information, customer information, or business information becomes subject to a different privacy notice.

6. Data Security and Retention

To prevent unauthorized access, safeguard data accuracy, and maintain the appropriate use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, technical, and administrative procedures to protect the personal information data you submit. We make every effort to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems. However, since the Internet is not 100% secure and as new technology evolves and emerges, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party interferences from illegally obtaining or tampering with your personal information. We encourage you to help us by also taking precautions to protect your personal data when you use the services.

‍
Casium will retain your personal information for as long as needed for the purposes described above and/or as required by law. A user may request access to data about themselves by emailing connect@casium.com.
