When sharing information, we take steps to help ensure that only the minimum data necessary is disclosed and that appropriate safeguards are in place.
Data Security
StaxUSA implements administrative, technical, and physical measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. These safeguards may include access controls, encryption, secure network architecture, and other security practices consistent with the nature of the information processed.
No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely risk-free. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are encouraged to use strong, unique credentials and to take reasonable steps to secure your own devices and accounts.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. The length of time we keep your information may depend on factors such as:
- The nature of the information and the services involved.

- Applicable legal, regulatory, tax, or accounting obligations.
When data is no longer needed, we will take steps to delete, anonymize, or otherwise render it unusable in a secure manner.
