We value your privacy and are committed to ensuring that your personal data is handled responsibly. If you wish to delete your personal information from our systems, we have outlined the following process and policies for user data deletion:
Data Retention Period We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to meet legal, regulatory, and operational requirements. Once the data is no longer needed for these purposes, we take steps to securely delete or anonymize it.
User-Initiated Data Deletion You may request the deletion of your personal data at any time by [providing a request via email, logging into your account, or another method as applicable]. Upon receiving your request, we will process it in accordance with applicable laws and our internal policies.
Deletion Process Upon receiving a valid deletion request, we will:
Verify your identity to ensure the request is legitimate.
Review the data to be deleted and determine whether any legal or contractual obligations require retention.
Permanently delete or anonymize your personal data from our systems, where applicable, within 90 days, unless extended by law or regulatory requirements.
Exceptions to Data Deletion In some cases, we may not be able to fully delete all of your personal data. For example:
Data that is required to be retained for legal, regulatory, or financial reasons (e.g., transaction history, tax reporting).
Data retained for fraud prevention or to ensure the security of our systems and services.
Anonymized or aggregated data that does not identify you individually and is used for business analytics or operational purposes.
Impact of Data Deletion Deleting your personal data may result in the loss of access to certain services, features, or content associated with your account. If applicable, we will notify you of any such impacts prior to completing the deletion.
Data Deletion for Account Closure If you decide to close your account with us, your personal data will be deleted according to this policy, unless retention is required for the reasons mentioned above.
Retention of Backup Data Please note that residual copies of personal data may remain in our backup systems for a period of time after the deletion, but these will be securely deleted once the backup data is no longer needed.
