When determining how long to retain each category of personal information after we no longer have a relationship with you, we take into account how long our clients usually want to continue hearing from us, our legal obligations and the expectations of regulators, as well as the length of time information is needed for internal audit purposes and to exercise or defend our legal rights.
We also consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
We review our retention periods for each category of personal information on a regular basis, and all data is retained in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
