We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with our services. For examples, personal information you provide regarding an order will only be kept for the lifetime of that order. However, we may also be required to retain this information to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. In general, we will not keep your data for longer than 2 years.
