The clause establishes Mercury's post-closure data retention authority under legal and regulatory requirements. This affects the scope and duration of data processing obligations the entity maintains after account termination, which is operationally significant for compliance with financial services regulations.
Users should understand that personal information may be retained after closing an account when Mercury determines retention is required by law or for regulatory purposes such as anti-money laundering and fraud prevention.
