Data Retention

We will retain the information you provide for as long as necessary to fulfil the objectives of Syria's Lost app, or as required by applicable laws.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
