Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide the Website, respond to requests, maintain security, satisfy legal or accounting requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected, and applicable legal requirements. Analytics, advertising, security, and other service providers may maintain information according to their own retention policies.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information associated with the Website. However, no Internet transmission, electronic storage system, or security measure can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
