Role-Based Access (RBAC)
Principle of least privilege; only verified personnel with signed NDAs access project staging environments.

10. Data Retention & Deletion
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying contractual deliverables, resolving technical disputes, and complying with statutory tax and auditing obligations under Ghanaian law (typically up to 6 years for transactional accounting records).
Upon expiration of retention periods or upon valid data erasure request, personal data and associated telemetry are either securely purged through cryptographic erasure algorithms or permanently anonymized.
