4. How we store data
(i) Retention Period
We retain your data only as long as necessary for its intended purposes or as required by law. If you decide to close your User Account, we will flag your Personal Data for removal unless legal or significant reasons require a more extended retention period. Please be aware that deleting your data permanently erases all associated information and credits.
(ii) Data Deletion
If it’s not possible to entirely delete your Personal Data due to system integrity, user experience, or community reasons, we will irreversibly anonymize your information. Note that we must keep certain transaction details for up to 10 years as commercial and tax regulations mandate.
Should you revoke your consent for data processing, we commit to promptly deleting your Personal Data, provided that our collection and processing were solely based on your consent. Suppose you object to our processing of your Personal Data. In that case, we will assess your request and delete the information processed under that objection unless we have another legal reason to keep it or are required to do so by law.
(iii) Data Storage Locations
The information we collect may be stored, processed, and transferred within the United States or to other countries outside of your jurisdiction. By providing us with your Personal Data, you consent to this transfer and processing outside your area. Rest assured, we implement robust security measures to protect your data in line with this privacy policy, regardless of where it is processed.
5. Who has access to data

As per Internet protocols, we share necessary details (like your IP address) with network providers that help deliver digital content you request. This ensures content delivery through a network of servers optimized for your location.
(v) Third-party Accounts
If you choose to link your User Account with a third-party account, we will merge information received from the third party with your account data as you have consented. Before linking, we will inform you about the data exchange, and it is your choice to proceed. The third party’s privacy policy will then apply to the shared data.
(vi) Legal Compliance
We may release your Personal Data to meet legal obligations, such as court orders or laws that require us to disclose your information.
(vii) Public Data
Some details related to your User Account are made available to other users through an ID query. At a minimum, your chosen public persona name is visible, and you control the visibility of additional information via your profile settings. However, remember that anything you voluntarily disclose on your public profile can be visible to others.
(viii) Community Interactions
Our platform hosts forums, message boards, and chat areas where shared information is public. Please exercise caution, as posting here could attract attention from third parties, leading to unsolicited communications.
