05Data storage, retention, and cross-border transfer.

Your data is stored on infrastructure owned or leased by VB Engineering, our VB Group affiliates, and reputable cloud service providers including Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Bitrix24. Storage locations may include, without limitation, India, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Australia, Singapore, and the European Union. By submitting data to us, you consent to the cross-border transfer of your data to any jurisdiction where we or our service providers operate, and to storage under the data-protection standards of that jurisdiction, notwithstanding any lesser protections that jurisdiction may afford compared to your country of residence.

We retain personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including satisfying legal, accounting, regulatory, marketing, and record-keeping requirements. Marketing databases may be retained indefinitely. We are under no obligation to delete data that has been anonymised, aggregated, or de-identified.

We reserve the right to verify your identity before acting on any request, to refuse manifestly unfounded or excessive requests, and to charge a reasonable administrative fee for repeated or voluminous requests.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time by writing to [email protected]. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. Withdrawal may result in our inability to continue providing services, respond to enquiries, or maintain a business relationship with you.
