Data Storage and Retention
Your Personal Information is stored by us on our servers, and on the servers of the cloud-based database management services we engage, which are generally located in the United States and may be transferred to and processed in other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. We will ensure that any international transfers of Personal Information comply with applicable data protection laws.

We retain Personal Information until such time as we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Information and is either purged from our systems or anonymized. If purging or anonymizing your Personal Information is not possible (e.g, because your Personal Information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
