We may therefore retain your Personal Data for a reasonable period after your last interaction with us. When Personal Data that we collect is no longer required in this way, we destroy or delete it in a secure manner. We may, instead of destroying or erasing your Personal Data, make it anonymous so that it cannot be associated with or tracked back to you.

Our determination of the storage period is based on the following criteria:            
I.                  The duration of our relationship with you, including when we have a contractual relationship with you,          
II.                  The duration of a legal obligation applicable to us, and
