4. Legal Basis & Retention

We process data based on legitimate business interests, contract performance, legal obligations, and user consent where required.

Login, audit, and diagnostic logs are retained as needed for security, troubleshooting, and compliance.

5. Data Sharing

We never sell personal information.

Each processor must protect the information they process and use it only for the services they provide to us.

6. Security

Simply Steps uses safeguards such as encryption in transit and at rest where appropriate, access controls, authentication, monitoring, and regular security reviews. Despite these safeguards, no system is perfectly secure; we notify users of incidents as required by law.

7. International Transfers

We may process data on servers located in Australia, the United States, or other jurisdictions. When transferring data internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as contractual protections and service provider security commitments.
