5. Process of Data Deletion
Upon receiving a valid deletion request, we will:
Verify Your Identity: We will verify that the request is coming from the account holder or an authorized individual.
Review the Request: We will review your request and confirm which data can be deleted based on our retention policies and legal obligations.

Exceptions: In some cases, we may not be able to delete certain data due to legal or regulatory obligations. For example, we may retain certain financial data for tax reporting purposes or where required by law. In such cases, we will inform you of the reason your data cannot be deleted and the period for which it must be retained.
6. Data Retention Period
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law. Once your data is no longer needed for business, legal, or operational reasons, we will securely delete or anonymize it.
7. Exceptions to Data Deletion
We may not be able to fulfill your data deletion request if:

8. Third-Party Service Providers
In some cases, we may share user data with third-party service providers to facilitate our services (e.g., payment processors, analytics providers). If your data has been shared with these third parties, we will notify them of your deletion request where necessary. However, we cannot guarantee that they will delete your data in accordance with this policy, as they may have their own data retention and deletion practices.
