We retain your personal information only for legitimate business purposes and as permitted by applicable law.

During this time, some of your account information will be retained, although the account will no longer be visible on the Service. In fact, we will delete or anonymize your information upon deletion of your account (after a security retention window) or 5 years of continuous inactivity. An account is considered inactive when a member's application has not established contact with VidUp 's servers (including due to deactivation of the geolocation process) and the member is not using the application. In any event, a Premium Member's account is not considered inactive.

We must retain it to demonstrate our compliance with applicable law (for example, records of consents to our Terms, Privacy Policy and other similar consents will be kept for five years);

There is an outstanding issue, claim or dispute that requires us to retain the information until it is resolved; or

Information must be retained for our legitimate business interests, such as preventing fraud and enhancing user security. For example, information may need to be retained to prevent users who have been banned from opening new accounts due to unsafe conduct or security incidents.

Correspondence to our customer support team will be retained for a longer period of time to allow us to deal with any subsequent queries you may have, but will normally be deleted within 6 years if there are no queries.

Anonymous information about activity on our services is retained for longer periods of time for statistical and product research purposes, but once the profile is deleted, the information cannot be attributed to an individual.

Please keep in mind that while our systems are designed to perform a data deletion process in accordance with the guidelines above, due to technical limitations we cannot promise to delete all data within a specific time frame.
