We use data hosting service providers to host the information we collect. Your information may be transferred or transmitted to, or stored and processed on servers in jurisdictions outside of where you live.

While we use technical measures and implement safeguards designed to secure your data and protect your information, no security system is impenetrable and due to the inherent nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that data, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our systems or otherwise in our care, is absolutely safe from intrusion by others.

6.2 How long we keep information

How long we keep information we collect about you is a case by case determination which depends on the type of information and the nature of the data, why it is collected and processed, and relevant legal or operational retention needs.

(a) Account information. We retain your account information until you delete your account. We also retain some of your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to enforce our agreements, to support business operations and to continue to develop and improve our Services. Where we retain information for Service improvement and development, we take steps to eliminate information that directly identifies you, and we only use the information to uncover collective insights about the use of our Services, not to specifically analyse personal characteristics about you.
(b) Managed accounts. If the Services are made available to you through an organization (e.g. your employer) under an enterprise licence, we retain your information as long as required by the administrator of your account.
(c) Marketing information. If you have elected to receive marketing emails from us, we retain information about your marketing preferences unless you specifically ask us to delete such information.
(d) Purchase Information. We may retain certain purchase information for accounting and tax purposes even after you have deleted your account.

6.3 Deletion of account

When you delete your account, we will delete information relating to that account that is no longer necessary for us to retain, including things you have posted, certain data and entitlements. You will not be able to recover that information later.

You have certain choices available to you when it comes to your information.
You have the right to request a copy of your information in a structured, electronic format. We will do our best to provide a copy of your information upon request within a reasonable time.
You also have the right to object to our use of your information or data (including for marketing purposes), to request the deletion or restriction of your information or data.
We do not currently have the infrastructure, tools or resources available to us to respond to any specific objections you may communicate to us about our use of your information or any requests to delete or restrict information. If you have any concerns about any information we hold about you, we recommend that you delete your account.
