Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 24, 2026

1. INTRODUCTION

Welcome to GotYou.

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how GotYou collects, uses, stores, shares and protects personal data when you use our mobile application, website and related services (collectively, the "Services").

We believe that transparency is an essential part of protecting personal information. This Privacy Policy is intended to explain, in clear and understandable language, what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, who we share it with, how long we keep it and what rights you have under applicable data protection laws.

This Privacy Policy applies whenever you:

create a GotYou account;

browse or use the Services;

purchase Premium features;

communicate with other users;

contact customer support;

visit our website;

otherwise interact with GotYou.

This Privacy Policy forms part of your relationship with GotYou and should be read together with our Terms of Service and any other policies referenced within the Services.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy limits any rights granted to you under applicable data protection legislation.

1.1 Adults Only

GotYou is intended exclusively for individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years of age.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

If we become aware that a person under the age of 18 has created an account or provided personal information through the Services, we may suspend or permanently remove the account and delete the associated personal data, subject to any legal obligations requiring retention.

1.2 Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data processed by GotYou in connection with the Services, regardless of whether the information is collected:

directly from you;

automatically through your use of the Services;

from your device;

from Apple or Google in connection with purchases;

from service providers;

through communications with customer support;

through reports submitted by other users where relevant.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites, applications or services that operate independently from GotYou, even where they may be linked within the Services.

Those third parties remain responsible for their own privacy practices.

1.3 Changes to this Privacy Policy

GotYou may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect:

changes in applicable law;

new features;

changes in our Services;

security improvements;

operational changes;

regulatory guidance.

Where legally required, we will notify Users before material changes become effective.

The "Last Updated" date at the beginning of this Privacy Policy indicates the most recent revision.

Your continued use of the Services following the effective date of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes acknowledgement of the revised Policy, except where applicable law requires another form of consent.

2. DATA CONTROLLER

For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") and other applicable data protection laws, the data controller responsible for the processing of personal data through GotYou is:

Majerszki Nikolett Sole Proprietor (Individual Entrepreneur)

Registered Address

3351 Verpelét Kossuth út 39. Hungary

Registration Number

54603222

Tax Number

55861362-1-30

Privacy Contact

hello@thegotyou.com

2.1 Contacting Us

If you have questions regarding this Privacy Policy or the processing of your personal data, you may contact us at any time.

General privacy enquiries, requests to exercise your legal rights and complaints relating to personal data should be sent to:

Email: hello@thegotyou.com

We aim to respond to requests without undue delay and within the time periods required by applicable law.

2.2 Data Protection Compliance

GotYou processes personal data in accordance with:

Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR);

applicable Hungarian data protection legislation;

the Hungarian Act CXII of 2011 on Informational Self-Determination and Freedom of Information, where applicable;

the EU Digital Services Act, where relevant;

applicable consumer protection legislation;

any other applicable data protection laws governing the Services.

Where local laws grant Users additional rights beyond those described in this Privacy Policy, those rights remain unaffected.

2.3 Representative and Data Protection Officer

Based on the current size and organisational structure of GotYou, a formal Data Protection Officer (DPO) has not been appointed because such appointment is not currently required under Article 37 GDPR.

Privacy matters are handled directly by the Data Controller.

Should the appointment of a Data Protection Officer become legally required in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.

2.4 Supervisory Authority

If you believe that your personal data has been processed in violation of applicable data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

If you reside within the European Economic Area, you may generally lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in:

your country of habitual residence;

your place of work; or

the place where the alleged infringement occurred.

This right exists in addition to any other administrative or judicial remedies available under applicable law.

5. WHY WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA

GotYou processes personal data only where there is a legitimate and clearly defined purpose for doing so.

The purposes described below explain why we collect and use your personal information. Depending on how you use the Services, not every processing activity described in this Privacy Policy will apply to you.

The following table provides an overview of the principal processing activities carried out by GotYou.

5.1 Providing the Services

The primary reason we process personal data is to provide the Services requested by our Users.

Without processing certain information, many core functions of the platform—including account creation, matching, messaging, Premium subscriptions and Nearby functionality—would not operate.

5.2 Improving the Services

We continually evaluate how Users interact with GotYou in order to improve the stability, usability, accessibility and security of the Services.

This may include analysing anonymous or aggregated usage trends, identifying software defects, improving user experience and introducing new features.

Where reasonably possible, statistical analysis is performed using aggregated or de-identified information.

5.3 Platform Safety

Protecting our Users is one of our highest priorities.

We process personal data to:

investigate reports;

detect abusive behaviour;

prevent spam;

identify fraudulent activity;

enforce our Terms of Service;

enforce our Community Guidelines;

respond to safety incidents;

prevent misuse of the Services.

This processing helps maintain a safe environment for all Users.

5.4 Communications

We process messages and related communication data in order to:

deliver messages;

display conversations;

support messaging features;

investigate reports;

comply with legal obligations;

improve platform security.

Processing message data does not mean that messages are routinely reviewed by human personnel.

Access to message content is limited to circumstances where reasonably necessary, including responding to abuse reports, complying with legal obligations or protecting the security and integrity of the Services.

5.5 Customer Support

Where you contact us, we process the information necessary to:

verify your account;

understand your request;

resolve technical issues;

investigate reported problems;

respond to complaints;

improve customer support.

5.6 Legal Compliance

Certain processing activities are required in order to comply with legal obligations, including obligations relating to:

accounting;

taxation;

fraud prevention;

consumer protection;

data protection;

court orders;

lawful requests from competent authorities.

Where required by law, personal data may be disclosed to competent authorities.

5.7 Research and Statistics

GotYou may use anonymous or aggregated information to better understand how the Services are used.

Statistical information generated from anonymised data does not identify individual Users and may be used for research, service improvement, capacity planning and business analysis.

6. LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING

Where the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") applies, GotYou processes personal data only where a valid legal basis exists under Article 6 GDPR and, where applicable, Article 9 GDPR for special category data.

The legal basis depends upon the specific purpose of the processing.

6.1 Overview of Legal Bases

6.2 Performance of a Contract

Much of the processing carried out by GotYou is necessary in order to fulfil the contract between you and GotYou.

This includes processing required to:

create and maintain your account;

authenticate your identity;

provide Nearby functionality;

enable messaging;

activate Premium subscriptions;

process Priority Messages;

display your profile;

deliver customer support.

Without this processing, the Services could not be provided.

6.3 Legitimate Interests

In certain circumstances, GotYou processes personal data on the basis of its legitimate interests, provided that those interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Examples include processing necessary to:

improve platform performance;

prevent fraud;

detect spam;

investigate abuse;

secure user accounts;

monitor service stability;

analyse system performance;

defend legal claims;

maintain internal records.

Where required, GotYou performs an appropriate balancing assessment before relying on legitimate interests.

6.4 Legal Obligations

Certain information must be processed because applicable law requires it.

Examples include obligations relating to:

taxation;

accounting;

consumer protection;

anti-fraud measures;

judicial proceedings;

cooperation with competent authorities.

Processing carried out for these purposes is limited to what is reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law.

6.5 Consent

Where required by applicable law, GotYou will request your consent before processing certain categories of personal data.

Examples may include:

enabling optional device permissions;

receiving marketing communications where consent is required;

using optional cookies or similar technologies on our website;

processing special category personal data where explicit consent is required and no other lawful basis applies.

You may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

6.6 Special Category Personal Data

Where Users voluntarily provide information that constitutes special category personal data under Article 9 GDPR—such as information concerning sexual orientation, gender identity, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs or health—GotYou processes such information only where a lawful exception under Article 9 GDPR applies.

Where required, this processing is based on your explicit consent. In other cases, processing may be necessary because you have manifestly made the information public or where another applicable exception under Article 9 GDPR permits such processing.

7. HOW WE SHARE PERSONAL DATA

GotYou does not sell your personal data.

We share personal data only where it is necessary to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, protect our legitimate interests or where you have instructed or authorised us to do so.

Whenever personal data is shared with third parties, we take reasonable steps to ensure that recipients process the information in accordance with applicable data protection laws and appropriate contractual safeguards.

7.1 Information Shared with Other Users

Because GotYou is a social and dating platform, certain information is intentionally shared with other Users as part of the Services.

Depending on your profile settings and your use of the Services, other Users may be able to see:

your display name;

profile photographs;

profile biography;

age;

approximate distance;

profile preferences;

profile prompts;

online or recently active status, where applicable;

messages that you choose to send;

media that you voluntarily share.

Information that is displayed publicly within your profile is visible to other Users of the Services.

You remain responsible for the information you choose to make available through your profile or communications.

7.2 Service Providers

GotYou works with carefully selected third-party service providers that perform services on our behalf.

These providers may assist us with:

cloud hosting;

infrastructure management;

data storage;

customer support;

email delivery;

push notifications;

analytics;

fraud prevention;

security monitoring;

software development;

payment validation;

application performance monitoring;

backup and disaster recovery.

Service providers may access personal data only to the extent necessary to perform their contractual services.

They are not permitted to use your personal data for their own independent purposes unless they act as a separate controller under applicable law.

7.3 Apple App Store and Google Play

Where you purchase Premium subscriptions or other digital products through Apple App Store or Google Play, certain purchase-related information is exchanged between GotYou and the relevant App Store.

This information may include:

transaction identifiers;

subscription status;

renewal status;

expiration dates;

purchase validation information.

Apple and Google process payment information under their own privacy policies.

GotYou does not receive your full payment card details.

7.4 Payment Providers

Where applicable, payment-related information may also be processed by payment processors engaged by Apple or Google or by other authorised payment service providers.

Such providers operate under their own legal obligations and applicable financial regulations.

7.5 Legal Requirements

We may disclose personal data where disclosure is reasonably necessary to:

comply with applicable law;

comply with judicial proceedings;

respond to court orders;

respond to lawful requests from competent authorities;

protect the rights, property or safety of GotYou;

protect other Users;

investigate criminal activity;

prevent fraud;

enforce our Terms of Service.

Whenever legally permitted, we will seek to ensure that requests are valid, proportionate and properly authorised before disclosing personal information.

7.6 Business Transactions

If GotYou undergoes a merger, acquisition, investment, restructuring, sale of assets or other corporate transaction, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Where required by applicable law, Users will be informed before such transfer takes effect.

The recipient of the transferred information will remain subject to applicable data protection obligations.

7.7 Professional Advisers

Personal data may be disclosed where reasonably necessary to:

lawyers;

accountants;

auditors;

insurers;

financial advisers;

regulatory advisers.

Such disclosures occur only where required for legitimate business or legal purposes and remain subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.

7.8 With Your Consent

In circumstances where your consent is required, we will only share your personal data after obtaining that consent.

You may withdraw your consent at any time where processing is based upon consent.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

7.9 Aggregated and Anonymous Information

GotYou may create aggregated, statistical or anonymised datasets that no longer identify individual Users.

Such information is not considered personal data under applicable law once it has been irreversibly anonymised.

Aggregated information may be used for:

business analytics;

research;

platform improvements;

service planning;

reporting.

7.10 Categories of Recipients

The table below summarises the principal categories of recipients with whom personal data may be shared.

8. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

GotYou may process or store personal data in countries other than the country in which you reside.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, GotYou takes appropriate measures to ensure that such transfers comply with applicable data protection legislation.

8.1 Transfers Within the European Economic Area

Where personal data is processed entirely within the European Economic Area ("EEA"), it remains subject to the protections provided by the GDPR and applicable national legislation.

8.2 Transfers Outside the EEA

Some of our service providers may operate outside the European Economic Area.

Where personal data is transferred to a country that has not been recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection, GotYou will implement appropriate safeguards before the transfer takes place.

8.3 Appropriate Safeguards

Depending on the circumstances, safeguards may include:

Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission;

an adequacy decision adopted by the European Commission;

other lawful transfer mechanisms recognised under the GDPR;

supplementary technical, organisational or contractual measures where appropriate.

8.4 Security Measures

When transferring personal data internationally, we implement reasonable measures designed to protect personal information throughout the transfer process.

These measures may include:

encryption;

access controls;

authentication procedures;

contractual confidentiality obligations;

vendor security assessments.

8.5 Third-Party Providers

Some third-party providers used by GotYou may independently process personal data in multiple jurisdictions.

Where such providers act as independent controllers, their processing activities are governed by their own privacy policies.

Examples may include:

Apple;

Google;

payment service providers;

internet service providers.

Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of such third parties where relevant.

8.6 Your Rights

International transfers do not reduce the rights available to you under applicable data protection legislation.

Where required by law, you may request additional information regarding the safeguards applied to international transfers of your personal data.

Requests may be submitted to:

hello@thegotyou.com

9. DATA RETENTION

GotYou retains personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with applicable legal obligations, resolve disputes, protect the security of the Services and enforce our legal rights.

The exact retention period depends on the nature of the information, the purpose for which it was collected and any legal or regulatory obligations applicable to GotYou.

Where personal data is no longer required, it will be securely deleted, anonymised or otherwise rendered permanently inaccessible, unless continued retention is required by applicable law.

9.1 General Retention Principles

When determining how long personal data should be retained, GotYou considers factors including:

the purpose for which the data was collected;

whether the Services are still being used;

legal and regulatory obligations;

accounting and tax requirements;

fraud prevention needs;

security investigations;

limitation periods for legal claims;

the sensitivity of the information;

the rights and interests of Users.

Retention periods may therefore differ between different categories of personal data.

9.2 Account Information

Account information is generally retained for as long as your Account remains active.

If your Account is deleted, account information will normally be deleted or anonymised within a reasonable period unless retention is required for legal, security or fraud prevention purposes.

9.3 Profile Information

Profile information remains available while your Account is active.

Following account deletion:

your public profile is removed from the Services;

profile photographs are deleted or anonymised;

profile information is removed from public visibility.

Certain technical backup copies may remain temporarily in secure backup systems until those backups are overwritten.

9.4 Messages

Messages are generally retained for as long as they remain part of an active conversation or until deleted in accordance with the functionality of the Services.

Where required for the investigation of abuse, fraud, safety incidents or legal obligations, relevant communications may be retained for a longer period.

Deletion of your Account may not automatically remove messages already delivered to other Users.

9.5 Purchase Records

Information relating to Premium subscriptions, Priority Pack purchases and other financial transactions may be retained for the period required by applicable accounting, taxation and financial reporting legislation.

Such records are retained even if your Account has been deleted where legally required.

9.6 Technical Logs

Technical logs may be retained for a limited period in order to:

investigate technical issues;

detect fraud;

identify security incidents;

monitor system stability;

improve platform reliability.

Logs are periodically deleted or anonymised when no longer required.

9.7 Abuse Reports

Reports relating to:

harassment;

fraud;

impersonation;

child safety;

illegal activity;

Community Guidelines violations;

Terms of Service violations

may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to investigate the incident, protect Users, comply with legal obligations or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

9.8 Legal Retention

Certain information may continue to be retained after account deletion where necessary to:

comply with legal obligations;

respond to lawful requests;

comply with court orders;

prevent fraud;

protect platform security;

resolve disputes;

enforce contractual rights.

Such information will only be retained for the specific legal purpose requiring its retention.

9.9 Anonymous Information

Once personal information has been irreversibly anonymised so that it can no longer identify an individual, it may be retained indefinitely for:

statistical purposes;

product development;

service improvement;

research;

security analysis;

business planning.

Anonymous information is no longer considered personal data under applicable law.

9.10 Illustrative Retention Periods

The following table provides general guidance regarding common retention periods.

The retention periods described above are indicative only and may vary where required by applicable law or specific operational circumstances.

10. SECURITY OF PERSONAL DATA

Protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of personal data is a fundamental part of the operation of GotYou.

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to safeguard personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or unauthorised access.

Although we continually improve our security practices, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

10.1 Technical Measures

Depending on the nature of the processing, security measures may include:

encrypted communications using industry-standard protocols;

encryption of sensitive data where appropriate;

secure authentication mechanisms;

password protection;

access controls;

network security monitoring;

vulnerability management;

logging and monitoring;

secure backup procedures;

disaster recovery measures.

Security controls are regularly reviewed and updated where appropriate.

10.2 Organisational Measures

In addition to technical safeguards, GotYou implements organisational measures intended to reduce the risk of unauthorised access to personal data.

Such measures may include:

confidentiality obligations;

restricted access based on business need;

internal security procedures;

incident response procedures;

periodic review of security practices;

vendor due diligence where appropriate.

10.3 Access Controls

Access to personal data is limited to individuals who require such access in order to perform their authorised responsibilities.

Personnel are granted access only to the information necessary for their specific duties.

Administrative access is regularly reviewed to minimise unnecessary privileges.

10.4 Security Monitoring

GotYou may monitor systems, infrastructure and Services in order to detect:

unauthorised access;

suspicious activity;

malware;

attempted attacks;

fraud;

abuse;

technical failures.

Monitoring is conducted for security and operational purposes.

10.5 Data Breach Response

If GotYou becomes aware of a personal data breach, appropriate action will be taken to investigate, contain and remediate the incident.

Where required by applicable law, we will notify the competent supervisory authority and affected individuals within the applicable legal time limits.

10.6 User Responsibilities

Users also play an important role in protecting their personal information.

Users should:

choose strong passwords;

keep login credentials confidential;

protect access to their devices;

promptly report suspected unauthorised access;

avoid sharing sensitive personal information unnecessarily;

keep their application updated to the latest version.

Failure to take reasonable precautions may increase the risk of unauthorised access to your Account.

10.7 Third-Party Security

Certain components of the Services rely upon independent third-party providers.

Although we select providers using reasonable care and require appropriate contractual safeguards where applicable, GotYou cannot guarantee the security practices of independent organisations acting outside our control.

Users should review the privacy and security information provided by relevant third-party providers where appropriate.

10.8 No Absolute Security

Despite the safeguards implemented by GotYou, the transmission of information over the internet and electronic storage systems always involve inherent risks.

Accordingly, GotYou cannot guarantee that personal data will never be subject to unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy shall be interpreted as providing an absolute guarantee of security.

11. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you are located in the European Economic Area ("EEA"), the United Kingdom, Switzerland or another jurisdiction that grants similar rights under applicable data protection legislation, you may exercise certain rights regarding your personal data.

These rights are not absolute and may be subject to limitations or exceptions under applicable law.

GotYou will consider every request individually and respond in accordance with the requirements of applicable data protection legislation.

11.1 Summary of Your Rights

The following table provides an overview of the principal rights that may be available to you.

11.2 Right of Access

You may request confirmation as to whether GotYou processes your personal data.

Where we do, you may request access to:

the categories of personal data processed;

the purposes of processing;

the categories of recipients;

applicable retention periods;

the legal basis for processing;

available safeguards for international transfers where applicable;

a copy of your personal data, unless an exception applies under applicable law.

Access requests will generally be provided free of charge unless they are manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive.

11.3 Right to Rectification

If you believe that personal data held by GotYou is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that it be corrected.

Many items of profile information may also be updated directly through your account settings.

We may request reasonable evidence where necessary to verify the accuracy of the requested correction.

11.4 Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten")

You may request deletion of your personal data where one of the conditions set out in Article 17 GDPR applies.

This right may apply, for example, where:

the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected;

you withdraw consent and no other lawful basis applies;

you successfully object to processing;

the data has been processed unlawfully;

deletion is required by applicable law.

This right is not absolute.

GotYou may retain certain information where retention is necessary to comply with legal obligations, establish or defend legal claims, prevent fraud, protect platform safety or comply with other lawful requirements.

11.5 Right to Restrict Processing

Under certain circumstances, you may request that we temporarily restrict the processing of your personal data.

Where processing has been restricted, personal data will generally be stored but not otherwise processed unless:

you consent;

processing is necessary for legal claims;

processing protects the rights of another person;

processing is required for important public interest reasons.

11.6 Right to Data Portability

Where processing is based on your consent or the performance of a contract and carried out by automated means, you may request a copy of certain personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

Where technically feasible, you may also request that such information be transmitted directly to another controller.

This right applies only where required by applicable law.

11.7 Right to Object

Where processing is based upon GotYou's legitimate interests, you may object to such processing on grounds relating to your particular situation.

If you submit an objection, GotYou will assess whether compelling legitimate grounds continue to justify the processing.

You may also object to direct marketing communications at any time.

Where applicable, marketing communications will cease following your objection, except for service-related communications that remain necessary for the operation of your Account.

11.8 Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based upon your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Withdrawal of consent:

does not affect processing already carried out before withdrawal;

does not affect processing based upon another lawful basis;

may limit the availability of certain optional features.

Certain permissions, such as location access or camera access, may also be withdrawn through your device settings.

11.9 Right to Lodge a Complaint

If you believe that GotYou has processed your personal data unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.

Where applicable, you may generally submit a complaint in:

your country of habitual residence;

your place of work; or

the country where the alleged infringement occurred.

You may also seek judicial remedies where provided by applicable law.

12. HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS

GotYou is committed to facilitating the exercise of your privacy rights in a transparent and accessible manner.

You may contact us at any time to submit a request relating to your personal data.

12.1 Contact Details

Privacy requests should be submitted to:

Email: hello@thegotyou.com

To help us process your request efficiently, please provide sufficient information to identify your Account and describe the nature of your request.

12.2 Identity Verification

Before responding to certain requests, GotYou may require reasonable verification of your identity.

Identity verification helps protect personal data from unauthorised disclosure, alteration or deletion.

Depending on the nature of the request, we may ask you to:

confirm your registered email address;

verify your account through the application;

provide additional information reasonably necessary to establish your identity.

We will request only the information necessary for verification.

12.3 Response Time

GotYou will respond to privacy requests without undue delay and, where the GDPR applies, generally within one month of receiving a valid request.

Where permitted by law, this period may be extended by up to two additional months if the request is particularly complex or numerous.

If an extension is required, we will inform you of the reasons for the delay within the time required by applicable law.

12.4 Fees

Requests are generally processed free of charge.

However, where permitted by applicable law, GotYou may:

charge a reasonable administrative fee; or

refuse to act on a request

if the request is manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive.

Any such decision will be explained to you.

12.5 Limitations

Certain rights may be limited where necessary to:

comply with legal obligations;

protect the rights and freedoms of others;

maintain platform security;

investigate fraud or abuse;

enforce contractual rights;

establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Where we are unable to fulfil your request in whole or in part, we will explain the legal basis for that decision unless prohibited by law.

12.6 Requests Made on Behalf of Another Person

Privacy requests submitted by an authorised representative may require proof of authority before any personal data is disclosed or modified.

GotYou reserves the right to contact the account holder directly where appropriate to verify the legitimacy of such requests.

12.7 Account Deletion Requests

You may request deletion of your Account through the functionality provided within the Services or by contacting us using the contact details set out in this Privacy Policy.

Deletion of your Account does not automatically require the immediate deletion of all associated personal data where continued retention is necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect the security of the Services, prevent fraud or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Further information regarding the consequences of account deletion can be found in the Terms of Service and in the Data Retention section of this Privacy Policy.
