We do not share your data with any other party other than our service providers through their software as a service forum.

They do not contain any information such as your name, account numbers or contact telephone numbers. All such information is aggregated and we do not retain the aggregate information after our review.

How long we retain your data

Should we choose to provide a forum, and if you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Should you retain our firm, we will keep account information indefinitely and we will archive other information in connection with our fee agreement.
