Submitted responses and documents will be retained only for the period reasonably necessary to complete the assessment and communicate the results. Once the assessment process is concluded, information will be securely disposed of using responsible and legally compliant electronic means, unless further engagement is requested or legally required.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the provider of this assessment accepts no liability for decisions, actions, or omissions taken by any organisation based solely on the provisional assessment or summary provided.
