For example, we retain certain purchase information for accounting and tax purposes even after you have deleted your account. Our retention rules are dependent on whether the information is necessary to provide the product or service, what consents have been provided around the use of personal information and what statutory, contractual, or other legal obligations do we have to retain personal information.
We will securely delete your information when it is no longer required for these purposes, in line with our company policies.

- We use global service providers, such as the ones described above.
When transferring information, there are strict rules in place to ensure your information is still protected to the highest standard. Where we do this, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are put in place. Where your information is transferred outside of your local market, we use contractual measures and internal mechanisms requiring the recipient to comply with privacy standards of the exporter.
