Key Governance Provisions

The retention period is open-ended during the relationship and extends significantly beyond it, meaning B2B personal data may be held for a very long time depending on relationship length.

High Delaware law governs these terms

Designating Delaware law as governing law determines which state's statutes and case law apply to any dispute arising under the Terms.
