How We Handle Electronic Records

In general, we will keep all personal information collected through the Site for – at a minimum – the length of time required by law. However, we will remove any personal information that could be used to identify you when you close your account, when you ask, or as otherwise required by law.

We keep backup files as a protection against natural disasters, equipment failures, or other disruptions. Backup files protect you and us because they lower the risk of losing valuable information. Removing a record from our main files does not remove that record from any backup systems. It may take some time before all information in a backup record is completely erased. In the meantime, as long as backup records exist, they receive the same privacy and security protections as our other records.

If we give you a paper copy of an electronic record, the paper copy will be the controlling copy. Otherwise, you agree that the electronic record in our system will be the controlling copy.

How You Can Update, Correct Or Remove Personal Information

You can only access, update, correct, or remove Your Personal Information by creating an online account. You can close your account at any time. You may request a copy of Your Personal Information and a list of anyone we have shared your information with by contacting us through your online account. However, after your account is closed and our standard policies will apply, which may include deletion of all Your Personal Information and any information related to you at all from our systems. You are responsible for making sure any information you input or uploaded into the Site that you want to keep is properly backed up so you have access to it after your account is closed. We do not return any data or Submissions after your account is closed.
