3. Cookies and Website Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, remember preferences, or understand website usage.
The specific technologies used depend on our website configuration and any third-party services enabled. You may be able to manage cookies through your browser settings or through cookie preference tools provided on our website, where available.

We may also disclose information when you direct us to do so or otherwise authorize the disclosure.

5. Confidential Business Information
Information provided to DDR in connection with a consulting engagement or other business relationship may be subject to separate confidentiality obligations, contracts, or other agreements.
This Privacy Policy does not replace or modify those agreements. Please do not submit confidential or proprietary information through public website forms unless DDR has specifically authorized that method of submission.

6. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to inquiries, managing business relationships, evaluating applications, maintaining records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the circumstances in which it was collected. When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it or otherwise dispose of it appropriately, subject to applicable legal and contractual requirements.

7. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. International Information Transfers
Depending on the services and technology providers we use, personal information may be processed or stored in countries other than the country in which it was collected.
Where applicable, we will take steps required by relevant data protection laws to ensure that international transfers of personal information receive appropriate protection.
