Business Ideas and Confidential Information

Where appropriate, we take reasonable steps to ensure that parties receiving personal information handle it responsibly and securely.
Protection of Personal Information
Shenati Minds takes reasonable measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
These measures may include appropriate access controls, secure systems, restricted access to information, and reasonable technical and organisational safeguards.
However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Retention of Personal Information
Shenati Minds retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain appropriate business records, to provide services, to resolve disputes, or where retention is required or permitted by law.
When personal information is no longer required, Shenati Minds will take reasonable steps to securely delete, destroy, or anonymise it where appropriate.
