- Right of Access: You have the right to obtain:

Sanno is committed to ensuring the security and confidentiality of your information. There are several ways we do this:
- Staff receive regular training on how to protect and use personal data.
- There are policies for staff to follow, and these are reviewed regularly.
- We ensure that only the minimum amount of data is shared or accessed.

9. HOW LONG DOES SANNO STORE MY INFORMATION?
Personal data within your Sanno account will be stored while your account is active and for an additional 24 months after the account has been closed to allow reactivation if you so decide. We want to ensure that you can return to the platform and see your previous records for comparison. After this period, we will delete all data that can identify you, retaining only anonymized data to allow us to continue developing the Sanno application and support innovation.
In case there are legal obligations that require the retention of certain data for specific periods (for example, tax records), these data will be stored according to those legal requirements.
