6. Data Storage & Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to safeguard information against unauthorized access or loss. This includes restricted administrative access, secured cloud infrastructure, and controlled onboarding workflows. While we strive to protect your data, no online platform can provide absolute security guarantees.
7. Data Sharing
Mauritius AI Network does not sell personal information to third parties. Information is only shared with authorized service providers (such as hosting and email delivery systems) necessary for platform operations, or displayed publicly upon profile approval.
8. User Rights & Profile Management
In alignment with the Mauritius Data Protection Act 2017, users maintain the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of their submitted information. Published members may request modifications to their profiles or request to be unpublished at any time by contacting us directly.
9. Cookies & Analytics
We utilize basic analytics and essential cookies to understand platform usage and improve the user experience. These tools help us enhance discoverability and ensure the technical performance of the network infrastructure.
