7. Legal basis, retention, security, and transfers
Legal basis
If you are located in the European Union or the European Economic Area, we process your personal data only when we have a valid legal basis.
Depending on the context, we may rely on:
- contract, when processing is necessary to provide pinned.events or features you request;
- consent, when processing is based on your permission, such as optional cookies, measurement, session replay, or external content;
- legal obligation, when processing is required by applicable law;
- legitimate interests, when processing is necessary for security, maintenance, abuse prevention, service reliability, legal claims, or similar purposes, provided your rights do not override those interests.
Where we rely on legitimate interests, you may have the right to object.
Retention
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.
In general:

When data is no longer needed, we delete it or anonymize it where possible.
Security
We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
No online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect the data we process.
