For Safety & Moderation: If your account is reported or actioned (warnings, suspensions, bans), relevant evidence such as chat logs, media, or ID data may be preserved internally for compliance and victim protection.
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale, your data may be transferred as part of the transaction.

All third-party processors are required to maintain confidentiality and data protection standards equivalent to ours.

5. Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption, secure servers, access control, and periodic audits.
