When you request account deletion, we will delete or anonymize your personal information in accordance with our data retention policies and applicable law. However, we may retain certain information if required by law, for legal compliance, to resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or for legitimate business purposes. For example, we may retain transaction records for accounting and tax purposes, or information necessary to prevent fraud or abuse.
