We may share PII with:

8. Retention & Deletion

We retain PII for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including to satisfy record-keeping obligations under applicable law (such as 18 U.S.C. § 2257), and to resolve disputes and enforce Our agreements. Where We are not legally required to retain PII, We will delete or anonymize it upon request, subject to verification of identity.
