5. How Long We Keep Your Personal Information
We keep your personal information for as long as it is required to fulfill the relevant purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or for other essential purposes such as complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes and enforcing our agreements.
These needs may vary for different data types in the context of different Services, and actual retention periods can vary significantly. We determine the appropriate retention period for personal information based on the amount, nature, and sensitivity of your personal information processed, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information and whether we can achieve the purposes of the processing through other means, as well as applicable legal requirements (such as applicable statutes of limitation).
Our retention obligations may require us to retain your personal information after your relationship with us has ended. These retention obligations may also prohibit us in some cases from deleting personal information after you have asked us to delete your personal information. After expiry of the applicable retention periods, your personal information will be deleted, de-identified, anonymized, or otherwise irreversibly destroyed in accordance with applicable laws. If there is any data that we are unable, for technical reasons, to delete entirely from our systems, we will put in place appropriate measures to prevent any further use of that data.
