We will collect and maintain any Personal Information only as long as we need it for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.

In the event that we offer Services subject to the GDPR, we will comply with the requests of European data subject requests to (1) access Personal Information, (2) have inaccurate or unnecessary Personal Information rectified or deleted, or (3) stop using your Personal Information in a certain way. If your use of our Services or Site is subject to GDPR you would also have a right to lodge a complaint with your local EU regulator.
