Data Retention
We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide our services, fulfill the transactions you have requested, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.
The criteria used to determine retention periods include:
- How long is the data needed to provide our products and services? This includes factors like maintaining and improving features, analyzing usage, detecting security incidents and debugging errors.
- Are users expecting us to keep the data until they manually delete it? Examples are deleted accounts or old posts users may still want to access.
- Is there an ongoing legal, contractual or compliance requirement to retain the data? For example, tax and financial regulations can require keeping transactional data for several years after a purchase.
Data Protection & Security
We are committed to protecting your personal and financial information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. We maintain technical, physical and administrative security measures designed to provide a safe, secure & trusted experience. These safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the information that we collect and store.
Some of our key security practices include:
- SSL encryption of sensitive data transmitted through our website and apps
- Restricting access to personal data only to employees who need to know the information
- Strong password policies and multi-factor authentication for accounts
- Payment data is encrypted and tokenized by our PCI-compliant payment processor so credit details are not stored on our servers
- Employee privacy and security training and background checks
- Regular third-party security audits to identify and fix potential weaknesses
While we follow generally accepted standards and best practices to protect your information, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our systems 100%. In the event of a breach, we will promptly inform you in compliance with applicable law.
International Data Transfers
We are a global company and so it may be necessary to transfer your personal information internationally when sharing it with our subsidiaries, affiliates or service providers located in other countries. Where required by law, we ensure an adequate level of protection for internationally transferred data through safeguards like standard contractual clauses. Contact us if you want further information on the safeguards we use for international data transfers.

The most current version will always be posted on our website. Any material changes will be communicated through the website or via email.
