We keep Personal Information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, e.g. for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements.

We determine retention periods based on factors such as:

  • the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you (e.g., for as long as you are a Business Customer);

Where a legal obligation arises or retention is advisable in light of our legal position, in some circumstances, we will retain certain Personal Information, even when we no longer have an ongoing business relationship with you, e.g.:

  • to cooperate with law enforcement or public, regulatory and government authorities: If we receive a preservation order or search warrant related to your account, we will preserve Personal Information subject to such order or warrant even after you delete your Services account.
  • to pursue or defend a legal action: We may retain relevant Personal Information in the event of a legal claim or complaint, including regulatory investigations or legal proceedings about a claim related to your Personal Information, or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation (whether in respect of our relationship with you or otherwise) for up to 5 years after the dispute has been settled or decided by a court or tribunal from which there is no further right of appeal.
