Your personal data won’t be kept longer than is reasonably necessary, giving due regard to: initial purpose of collection; age of data; any legal/regulatory reason for us to keep it; and whether needed to protect you or us. We may retain and use your personal data as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements and rights, or if it is not technically reasonably feasible to remove it. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of personal data, potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure and the purposes for which we process and whether we can achieve these purposes by other means in addition to the applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

We retain your conflict descriptions, assessment results, and solution selections for as long as your account is active and for 90 days after account deletion to allow for account recovery.
