We retain your personal data for as long as your account remains active or as necessary to provide our services. You may request permanent deletion of your data at any time.

Jurisdiction and Governing Law
This Privacy Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
