This may include implementing robust and effective security measures. If you have additional questions about this, you may contact us.
HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Your Personal Information will be retained only as long as necessary for the fulfillment of the Purposes for which it was collected, or in accordance with Depix’s legitimate interests, or to comply with applicable legal, tax or regulatory requirements. At the end of this period, we will endeavor to destroy or anonymize such information.
In determining the appropriate retention period for your Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of Personal Information involved, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the Purposes for which we Process your Personal Information and the possibility of achieving those Purposes by other means, as well as any applicable legal, tax or regulatory requirements.
