Technology used to gather data:
User Submission. Users submit much of the aforementioned data directly by filling out the information forms on site and users always have the choice of not sending this data and opting out of a service.
Log Files. Files used to keep a record of browser types, IP addresses, time stamps, pattern information such as the number of user clicks, referring pages, and exit pages are called Log Files.

Cookies. Web servers often send information from a web server to a user’s web browser. This information is called a cookie, and it’s stored on the user’s hard drive. Cookies enable web browsers to remember individual user habits, logins, and other personal information. When your web browser automatically fills in your usernames or passwords for any website, this is due to stored cookies on your hard drive. You can choose to disable cookies in your browser, and this may result in reduced functionality on both Fozeus Website and Application as well as any other sites and applications.

The user has a possibility to activate 2FA authentication and use it as an additional security measure for authentication.
We have taken all steps within our means to protect user data. Total protection is never possible under any company, including Fozeus. Data submission is at your own risk. We are committed to protecting that data, and we will notify users should any malpractice or damages towards user data occur.
Users are responsible for their own data, including choosing a safe password or agreeing to submit data to third parties companies including Fozeus.

RETENTION AND STORAGE OF DATA
Fozeus creates and keeps information records regarding customer accounts, activities, and transactions. These records may be stored digitally or on paper, and in most cases, digital methods are used. These records are necessary to allow us to offer our services and handle user queries, as well as for the purposes of legal compliance. If you deactivate your account in Fozeus, we will mark your account in our database as “Deactivated”, we will anonymise your personal information and company-related information, in which case it is no longer considered personal information and company-related information, but we will keep your account information in our database for at least five years. This is necessary to prevent fraud and prevent people who try to commit fraud from being able to avoid their detection by merely deactivating their account and opening another one.
We keep data for this period to comply with international and local laws and regulations around money laundering. We may keep data for over ten years in some cases for tax, bookkeeping and regulatory purposes.

personal information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal
information from a child under the age of 16 (or the applicable age in their territory) without
verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
