In addition, any information you send to us may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.
How long we retain your personal information depends on different factors, such as whether we need the information to maintain your account, provide our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce other applicable contracts and policies. We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
When we no longer need your personal information, we will securely delete or destroy it in accordance with applicable laws and our internal policies. Some information may be retained in backup systems or records for a limited additional period as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.
