Data Retention
Your personal information will not be kept longer than is necessary for the specific purpose for which it was collected.

The foregoing will, however, not prevent us from retaining any personal information if it is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, in order to file a legal claim or defend ourselves against a legal claim, or for evidential purposes.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, or request deletion of data we hold about you.
