Consultation Data: Quick Ask queries and responses, chat transcripts, and session metadata (duration, timestamps). This data is stored for service delivery and dispute resolution.

We use industry-standard encryption (HTTPS/TLS) for all data transmission. Verification documents are stored in encrypted cloud storage. Database access is restricted to authorized personnel only.
