In case of international transfers of personal data, the laws of certain jurisdictions may provide a lower level of protection with respect to your personal data relative to the laws of your home country.

To illustrate, if you are resident in the EU/EEA/UK, we have implemented the following safeguards in relation to international transfers of personal data to the extent required by applicable law:

We will retain your personal data only as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which this data was collected, unless a longer retention period is required by applicable law.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
This means that we will usually keep your personal data for the lifetime of your use of our website, mobile application, platforms, services or products, and then thereafter for such period as we are required or permitted to keep your personal data under applicable laws after you have ceased to use our website, mobile application, platforms, services or products.
