We implement industry-standard protections:

• AES-256 encryption for data at rest
• TLS 1.3 encryption for all data in transit
• Regular security audits and penetration testing
• Role-based access controls — employees only access data needed for their role
• Automatic session invalidation after periods of inactivity

You have the right to:

• Access: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Rectification: correct inaccurate or incomplete data
• Erasure: request deletion of your account and personal data

• Analytics cookies: help us understand how users interact with our platform

• You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling essential cookies may affect platform functionality.

• Active account data is retained for as long as your account is active
• After account deletion, most personal data is removed within 30 days
• Some data may be retained longer where required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., financial records)

• We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time
• Material changes will be communicated via email or a banner on the platform
• Continued use of KonnectHere after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy
