Data retention and security

TMUG retains personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Statement or as required by applicable law or good recordkeeping practices for nonprofit organizations.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to help protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
