VIII. Data Retention

We generally retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services to you. In some circumstances, we may retain information longer if reasonably necessary for legitimate business or legal purposes, if required by law, if deletion would require disproportionate technical effort or would be extremely impractical (for example, fundamentally changing an existing practice or would impact information residing on backup systems), to resolve disputes, to comply with our internal compliance and record retention policies, to enforce our agreements, to prevent fraud and abuse, to enforce or Terms and Conditions, and/or for any other purpose permitted by law.

If you request that we delete your information, please note that it is not always possible to completely delete all of your information from our databases and that residual data may remain on our backup systems.
