• We report and manage incidents to make sure we learn from them and improve
• We put in place contracts that require providers and suppliers to protect your data as well
HOW LONG DOES SANNO LTD STORE MY INFORMATION?
The personal data within your Sanno account within the Sanno will remain regardless of whether you appear to be an “active” User. This is because you may use the Sanno App more at certain times and may not use it for some time. We want to make sure that you can return to the App and see your previous records for comparison.
You may close your account at any time, thus withdrawing consent. We will remove all data that can identify you and will retain only anonymised data to allow us to continue developing the Sanno App and to support innovation.
