If you request that all or part of your Personal Information be deleted at any time, we will still retain this information for a maximum of 10 years from request, before deletion. This is due to our legal obligations of information retention. During this time, your Personal Information will be segregated from other Users’ Personal Information and will not be accessed or used for any other purpose than fulfillment of legal and regulatory requirements.
