Consent: when you choose to receive marketing emails or accept non-essential cookies
Legitimate interests: when reasonably necessary to operate, secure and improve the website and business, provided those interests do not override your rights
Legal obligation: when information must be retained or disclosed to comply with the law
You may withdraw your consent to marketing at any time.

Where this happens, reasonable steps will be taken to use providers and safeguards intended to protect personal information in accordance with applicable data-protection requirements.

10. Data Retention
Personal information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Some purchase and transaction records may need to be retained for accounting, tax, fraud-prevention or legal purposes. Membership and support information may be retained while an account or customer relationship remains active and for a reasonable period afterwards.

Marketing information is retained until you unsubscribe, withdraw consent or the information is no longer required.
