Active commission balances will be paid out before deletion if they meet the minimum threshold, or forfeited if below it.

We take reasonable precautions to protect your data including: HTTPS encryption for all data in transit, server-side access controls, and restricted admin access. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you as required by the Jamaica Data Protection Act 2020.

6. Data Retention

We retain your order records (name, email, order details, license key hash) for as long as necessary to provide license support and fulfill our legal obligations. If you request deletion of your data (see Section 8), we will anonymise your personal details from order records while retaining the minimum information required for legal and accounting purposes (order ID, amount, date).
