We may aggregate your personal information with other users’ personal information to identify broader patterns and trends across customer segments, compare our performance against industry standards, develop new and improved products, make our marketing efforts more efficient, conduct statistical analysis, and meet our regulatory and audit requirements. Once personal information is aggregated, it can no longer be used to identify the individual users.
How do we process your sensitive personal information?
If you contact our Customer Support, we may record the conversation to address your issues, improve our services and products, and keep it as part of our business record which is subject to our company’s retention policy. Please note that any other sensitive personal information we collect from you is strictly used to fulfill our relationship with you, and for purposes permitted under the applicable data protection laws.

We will keep your personal information for the period provided by our Retention Policy or as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes it is collected.

We may also keep your personal information longer if there is a complaint or we can reasonably anticipate a legal dispute arising from our relationship with you.
Our retention policy for personal information is based on the amount, nature, sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the information, the purposes for which your personal information is collected and processed and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means. If a specific regulation applies to the retention of your personal information, that regulation takes precedence over our retention policy. In some circumstances, we will anonymize or aggregate your personal information for research or statistical purposes. Once personal information is anonymized or aggregated, it can no longer be associated with an individual person. In that case, we may use the information indefinitely without further notice to you.
