6. International Data Transfers

While collectiveweave is focused on New Zealand users, some of our infrastructure and
third‑party service providers may be located in other countries. As a result, your

Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards to help ensure that such transfers comply
with applicable data protection laws and that your information remains protected.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to provide collectiveweave
services, support our legitimate interests, and meet legal obligations. When data is no
longer needed, we will delete it or de‑identify it in a secure way.
