Data Retention Policy
How long candidate and service information is retained and how deletion is handled.
Retention approach
We retain personal information only for as long as needed to provide requested services, preserve report and consultation continuity, maintain security, resolve disputes, enforce agreements and comply with legal obligations.
Retention factors
The retention period depends on the information type, sensitivity, service relationship, candidate requests, operational need and applicable limitation or record-keeping requirements. Uploaded resumes and generated assessment information are reviewed for deletion or anonymisation when no longer reasonably required.
Deletion and exceptions
You may request deletion at info@settlesmartworks.com. We may retain limited records where required by law, needed to establish or defend legal claims, prevent fraud, record consent or honour an opt-out. Backups are removed through the normal secure rotation cycle.
