7. Data Security Measures

We take the security of your data seriously. We use technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption: Data is encrypted both in transit (using TLS/SSL) and at rest (stored data).

• Access Control: We restrict employee access to personal data to those who need it to perform their job functions.

• Regular Audits: We regularly test and audit our systems for vulnerabilities.

However, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

8. International Data Transfers

Talk Kro is a global service. Your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries outside of where you live, including the United States, for the purposes described in this policy. These data transfers are necessary to operate the Service.

• We rely on legally-provided mechanisms, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), to ensure your data receives adequate protection when transferred outside of relevant jurisdictions (e.g., the European Union).

• By using the Service, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to and stored in these locations.

9. Children's Privacy

Talk Kro is not intended for children under the age of 13.

• We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13.

• If we become aware that we have collected data from a child under 13, we will take reasonable steps to delete it immediately. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

10. Data Retention

We retain data until it is no longer necessary to provide our services and Talk Kro Products, or until your account is deleted—whichever comes first. This is generally determined on a case-by-case basis. Factors considered include:

• The nature of the data (e.g., profile information vs. security logs).

• The legal or contractual requirements for retaining the data.

• The continued need for security, anti-spam, and anti-fraud purposes.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices or legal requirements.
