9) DATA RETENTION

We will retain your personal data in accordance with our Global Privacy Policy. Generally, we will only retain personal data for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes for which the personal data was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law or we have justifiable reasons for doing so.
