Latest stance: indefinite or necessity based
“We use reasonable measures to help protect information from loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. You should understand that no data storage system or transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure. Please note that information collected by third parties may not have the same security protections as information you submit to us, and we are not responsible for protecting the security of such information. We retain information for as long as necessary to provide the Services and for the other purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We also retain information when necessary to comply with contractual and legal obligations, when we have a legitimate business interest to do so (such as improving and developing the Services, and enhancing its safety, security and stability), and for the exercise or defense of legal claims. The retention periods are different depending on different criteria, such as the type of information and the purposes for which we use the information. For example, when we process your information such as your account registration information to provide you with the Services, we keep this information for as long as you have an account, subject to your updates of such information. If you violate our Terms of Service , Community Guidelines , or other conditions or policies, we may remove you from the Services immediately, but may keep information about you to process the violation. Subject to applicable laws, including Executive Order 14352 and any compliance obligations thereunder, we may transmit your information outside of the United States, for purposes of sharing with recipients as described in this Privacy Policy.”
