DATA RETENTION

Your Personal Data will be stored until we no longer need the information and proactively delete it, or if you send a valid deletion request, in which case as soon as reasonably practicable, and within a maximum of 60 days. As for cookies we store, this would depend on the cookie in question. Some cookies (e.g. essential cookies) cannot be disabled. You may also control and delete these cookies through your browser settings.

In some circumstances we may store your Personal Data for longer periods of time, for example (i) where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, regulatory, tax or accounting requirements, or (ii) for us to have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenges, or (iii) if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation relating to your Personal Data or dealings. However, Simloud does not store or retain credit card or payment card numbers after they have been forwarded to its billing and payment processor(s), unless it is necessary for providing the Simloud Platform.

Any Customer may request information regarding the storage and retention of data (“Audit”) by contacting us.
