6. Data Retention
Your data is stored on servers in the U.S. or other locations where our affiliates and partners operate. We retain it as needed for service provision and legal obligations. When no longer required, we will delete or anonymize your data, using security measures for archived information. Anonymized data may be retained indefinitely.
