The collection of the PII is necessary to ensure prompt and efficient customer service and support, and to better tailor our products to meet our customer’s needs. We reserve the right to store or archive your PII indefinitely, even after deletion or inactivation of your account. While we will make every effort to comply with your request to remove all of your PII that we may have, you understand that it may be impossible for us to do so for reasons beyond our control.
