If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Active Accounts

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account at any time through your account settings.

When you delete your account, we remove your personal information from active systems within 30 days. Some information may be retained in backups for up to 90 days.

User Content

Reviews and comments you post may remain visible even after account deletion, but will be anonymized (shown as "Deleted User") rather than displaying your profile information.
