Data Security and Retention
Ubuntu Exchange applies technical, operational, and access-control safeguards intended to reduce unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure of personal data. These safeguards may include encryption, access restrictions, monitoring, credential controls, infrastructure protections, and internal review processes.
No internet-based system is risk-free. We retain personal data and transaction records for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including service delivery, account administration, compliance, audit, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, and legal or contractual obligations.
