Some service providers may follow their own retention schedules. Information may also be retained when necessary to comply with legal requirements, resolve disputes, or protect legitimate interests.
Data Security
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure.
