5. Data Storage and International Transfers
By default, Aegis Eight stores customer assessment data and reports within Australia. Customers with data-residency requirements in another jurisdiction can request a dedicated deployment in their required region.
Some service providers may process limited personal information outside Australia as part of delivering authentication, payment, infrastructure, or support services.
Where information is disclosed overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is handled securely and in accordance with applicable privacy obligations.
6. Data Retention
Assessment data is retained only for as long as necessary to provide the Service and meet legal, operational, and security requirements.
Unless otherwise required:
- assessment snapshots and supporting evidence are retained for ninety (90) days;
- after ninety (90) days, raw evidence data may be removed while retaining metadata and integrity records necessary to support historical reporting and auditability;
- account information is retained while an account remains active; and
- information may be retained for longer where required by law or legitimate business purposes.
Upon account closure or a valid deletion request, data will be deleted in accordance with our retention procedures.
