   We provide you with the ability to access, rectify, and erase your data.

   We store data until it is no longer necessary to provide our services and Platform, or until your account is deleted - whichever comes first. This is a case-by-case determination that depends on things like the nature of the data, why it is collected and processed, and relevant to legal or operational retention needs.

   When you delete your account, we delete things you have posted, such as your completed challenge photos, and you won't be able to recover that information later. If you don't want to delete your account but want to temporarily stop using the Platform, you can deactivate your account instead. To delete or deactivate your account at any time, please contact us at: data@traditionsapp.com

5. How do we respond to legal requests or prevent harm?

   We access, preserve and share your information with regulators, law enforcement or others:

   • In response to a legal request (like a search warrant, court order or subpoena) if we have a good faith belief that the law requires us to do so. This may include responding to legal requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States when we have a good-faith belief that the response is required by law in that jurisdiction, affects users in that jurisdiction, and is consistent with internationally recognized standards.
   • When we have a good-faith belief it is necessary to: detect, prevent and address fraud, unauthorized use of the Platform, violations of our terms or policies, or other harmful or illegal activity; to protect ourselves (including our rights, property or Platform), you or others, including as part of investigations or regulatory inquiries; or to prevent death or imminent bodily harm. For example, if relevant, we provide information to and receive information from third-party partners about the reliability of your account to prevent fraud, abuse and other harmful activity on and off our Platform.

   Information we receive about you can be accessed and preserved for an extended period when it is the subject of a legal request or obligation, governmental investigation, or investigations of possible violations of our terms or policies, or otherwise to prevent harm. We also retain information from accounts disabled for terms violations for at least a year to prevent repeat abuse or other term violations.
