- Retention Period for Personal Information
How long We retain personal information varies according to the type of information in question and the purpose for which it is used. We delete personal information within a reasonable period after We no longer need to use it for the purpose for which it was collected (or for any subsequent purpose that is compatible with the original purpose). This does not affect Your right to request that We delete Your personal data before the end of its retention period. We may archive personal data (which means storing it in inactive files) for a certain period prior to its final deletion, as part of Our ordinary business continuity procedures.
- Your Rights to Access, Correct, Restrict or Delete Your Personal Data
You have the right to request access to Your personal data, to have Your personal data corrected, restricted or deleted, and to object to Our processing of Your personal data.
