How other platforms handle this
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.
We retain personal information about you for the time necessary to fulfill the purpose for which that information was collected, usually for the duration of any contractual relationship and for any period thereafter as legally required or permitted by law.
We will store your personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
