8. Data Retention

We keep information for as long as needed to operate the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention may vary depending on the type of data and whether you maintain an active account.

9. Security

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, but no method of storage or transmission is completely secure.

10. Children's Privacy

TripBalance is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
