We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to complete transactions, provide products and support, maintain required business and financial records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with applicable legal, tax, and accounting obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected. Our service providers may maintain information according to their own retention policies.
