We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Services you have requested, or for other essential purposes based on business needs or legal requirements, including resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. Because these needs can vary for different data types in the context of different Services, actual retention periods can vary significantly based on criteria such as user expectations or consent, the sensitivity of the data, the availability of automated controls that enable users to delete data, and our legal or contractual obligations.
