9. How Long We Retain Personal Information

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law.

Retention periods may depend on factors such as the type of information, why it was collected, account status, security requirements, fraud prevention, legal obligations, and potential disputes.

for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to support requests;
for as long as reasonably necessary to maintain website security;
