The data practices described in this Cookie Policy are developed in strict accordance with applicable data protection and privacy regulations in North America.

Data security at Zeptrikoix is of high priority. We have implemented robust measures designed to protect any information we collect via cookies from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Some of our security implementations include:

Encryption protocols for data both at rest and in transit to prevent interception or unauthorized access.
Access controls that limit the availability of personal data to authorized personnel only.
Regular audits and assessments of our data security systems to ensure ongoing adherence to best practices and legal requirements.
Continual monitoring systems to detect and respond swiftly to any potential security breaches or vulnerabilities.
Established data retention policies that define strict timelines and secure deletion protocols for expired data.

While we take every precaution to secure your data, it is important to note that no system can guarantee absolute security. We remain committed to continually enhancing our security measures in line with technological advancements and regulatory expectations.

At Zeptrikoix, we maintain a clear data retention policy for any information derived from cookie usage. Data is retained only as long as it is necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was initially collected, including compliance with legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Upon expiration of the retention period, the data is securely deleted or anonymized, ensuring that individual identification is no longer possible. Should you request deletion of your personal data, we will ensure that such data is removed from our active systems in a timely manner, subject to any overriding legal obligations.

In practice, retention schedules vary, with essential service cookies typically maintained throughout your session and persistent cookies often configured with expiration dates that range from a few days to several months. The specific timeframe for the retention of non-essential cookies is determined by the function they serve while ensuring compliance with data minimization principles as stipulated by applicable law.
