8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including service delivery, administration, research, record-keeping, legal, regulatory, accounting, and compliance requirements.
The retention period may vary depending on the nature of the information and the purpose for which it is used.
