How Long We Retain Your Information
We want the connections you make through our service to last forever, but we keep your personal data only as long as necessary for legitimate business reasons (as laid out in Section 4 of the Privacy Policy) and as permitted by applicable law. If you decide to stop using our service, you can close your account and your profile will no longer be visible to other members (note that we will close your account automatically if you are inactive for two years), but we may retain your personal data after you close your account for the period of time needed to pursue legitimate business interests and in accordance with applicable law. For example, we may retain your personal data as necessary to evidence our compliance with applicable legal data retention obligations (including tax and accounting legal requirements), support our customer care decisions, enforce our rights and defend ourselves in the event of a claim or potential claim (including payment disputes), comply with a valid legal subpoena or request to preserve data, and prevent members who were banned from opening a new account.
Where and as legally permitted, we may maintain and use data that, by itself, cannot identify or be attributed specifically to you for the purposes described in the Privacy Policy, including to improve our service, create new features, technologies and services, and keep our service and our affiliates' services safe.
