We retain information about you and your use of our Services for as long as is needed to fulfill our legitimate business purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.

We also consider the minimum necessary retention period prescribed by applicable laws, recommended by industry standards, and stated in contracts and other legal obligations.
TRANSFERS OF INFORMATION TO OTHER COUNTRIES
We are based in the United States. If you are located outside of the United States, you should be aware that your personal information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in a country other than the one in which it was collected, including the United States, and the laws may be less stringent than the laws in your country.
