Retention, Confidentiality, and Security of Personal Information
We retain Personal Information for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose of collection or further processing as described in this Privacy Notice; as we determine is necessary for business records; and as required under applicable law.

Generally, Personal Information collected automatically using technologies such as cookies is retained for the duration of your visit to the Site but it may be retained for a longer period of time.
We maintain reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your information. However, the Internet is not absolutely secure and, thus, we cannot promise guaranteed security.

As applicable, we will comply with notification requirements for a security breach and may also notify you by email.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, corporate change, or bankruptcy, we may share or transfer your Personal Information as part of a transfer of our assets to the acquiring entity.
