TechManta recognises the importance of protecting Customer Data and Personal Data entrusted to the Platform. The Parties acknowledge that effective data governance is fundamental to maintaining trust, regulatory compliance and the secure operation of the Services.

Upon receipt of a verified account deletion request, TechManta shall, within a commercially reasonable period, delete or anonymise Customer Data that is no longer required for legal, regulatory, taxation, security, fraud prevention, backup integrity or dispute resolution purposes.

7.6 Aggregated & Anonymised Analytics

Nothing in this Agreement restricts TechManta from generating, maintaining or using anonymised, aggregated or de-identified usage statistics that do not identify the Customer, any End User or any natural person.
