The criteria we use to determine whether we have an ongoing legitimate business need to retain Personal Data include among others: (i) regulatory requirements that we are subject to, including laws and regulations related to tax, employment, accounting, and securities, (ii) whether a legal claim might be brought against us, for which the Personal Data would be relevant, (iii) the necessity of the Personal Data to provide our services to our customers, and (iv) the types and sensitivity of Personal Data being processed.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Data, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
