Information about you may be retained beyond the expiry of its purpose if that is required by law, such as a provision of a statute, or a court order such as a search warrant or sub poena, or a warning by a law enforcement agency that delivery of a court order is imminent. In these circumstances, Edentiti:
- will take any reasonable steps available to it to communicate to You that Information about you is being retained, unless it is precluded from doing so by law; and
- will only retain Information about you while that provision is current, and will then destroy Your Data;
