The duration for which we retain your information depends on the specific data we collect and why we need it, which itself varies based on how you use our services.

Key factors that influence our determination of specific retention periods include: minimum legal obligations, applicable industry standards, the nature of the information (including its sensitivity), our specific purposes for processing it (such as legal compliance, internal record-keeping, policy enforcement, and dispute resolution), whether these purposes can be met by alternative means, the potential risk associated with unauthorized access or disclosure, the relevance of the information to potential legal proceedings, and whether retaining the data is necessary to prevent fraud, cheating, or other misuse of our services.
