Retention
We retain each category above for as long as your account is active or as needed to operate the Service, as described in our Privacy Policy.
Sale and Sharing
We do not currently sell or share (as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA, which includes disclosures for cross-context behavioral advertising) any of the categories above. If we begin using third-party advertising in a way that constitutes sharing under California law, we will update this notice in advance and provide a functioning opt-out on our Do Not Sell My Personal Information page.
