How long we retain your data

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

2.4. Derogations: In certain limited circumstances, we may transfer personal data outside the EU without relying on an adequacy decision, appropriate safeguards, or explicit consent. These circumstances may include the performance of a contract, important reasons of public interest, or the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

  1. Third-Party Recipients

3.1. When transferring personal data outside the EU, we may engage third-party recipients who are subject to privacy laws that provide an adequate level of data protection. We will ensure that such recipients are contractually bound to protect your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
