Since Dicti is a company with a principal place of business in the United States, any Personal Information that we collect in and through the Dicti Services for the purposes outlined above may be transferred to, stored on servers in, and accessed from the United States and countries other than the country in which the Personal Information was initially collected. Laws in these countries may differ from the laws applicable to your country of residence. By using the Dicti Services you agree to your Personal Information being transferred outside your original territory and subject to the terms in this Privacy Policy.

The security of all Personal Information provided to Dicti is important to us. Dicti uses commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to protect Your Personal Information against unauthorized or unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction, or damage. Dicti regularly conducts security reviews, vulnerability scans, and/or penetration tests to ensure compliance with industry security practices and standards.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet or storage of information can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while Dicti strives to protect Your Personal Information, Dicti cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that You transmit to Dicti, and You do so at Your own risk.

Dicti asks that You help us be safer together by implementing Your own security controls, such as a strong password, not sharing Your credentials with others, logging out when You are done using our Dicti Services, and other security best practices.

Dicti will keep Your Personal Information in compliance with its data retention policy or until You request to delete it. Once this time period has expired, Dicti will delete all related data associated with your account.
