To the extent the law allows it, We will attempt to provide you with prior notice before disclosing your information in response to such a request.
While no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure, We take every reasonable precaution to protect your data from unauthorized access, misuse, disclosure, loss, and alteration by monitoring Our Services for potential vulnerabilities and attacks.

We generally retain your information until it is no longer necessary to provide Our Services to you (as stated above in How We Use Information) or until your account is deleted.
