We may continue to retain some information even after you delete your account if we are required to do so in order to comply with applicable laws.
If your account is deleted, some of your information and content may remain on our Services to allow your team members or other users to make full use of the Services.
After you submit a request to delete your account, we initiate a deletion process to safely and completely remove your data from our servers or retain it only in anonymized form.
