Your IP address is logged by us in association with transactions and activities on the Platform so that we mitigate spam, fraud or abuse of our Platform. We will store this data for as long as necessary for the purposes of the Services as agreed in our agreement with your company, unless we are required, for legal reasons or under exceptional circumstances, to retain this data for an extended period, or removal is technically impractical. For so long as it is stored we will protect the personal data according to the Twenifor Information Security Policy and as agreed with your company.

Twenifor Customers use the Platform to store business contact information about their trading partners to facilitate engagement and collaboration with such parties by the Twenifor Customer and by Twenifor acting on the customer’s behalf. In order for Twenifor to perform certain actions related to seller onboarding for a buyer, Twenifor needs some business contact information for trading partners which can include Personal Data.
