Flowbit retains personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to achieve the purposes described in this Policy, including providing the Services, maintaining Accounts, providing customer support, ensuring security, preventing fraud, processing disputes and chargebacks, complying with partner requirements, and fulfilling accounting, tax, audit, compliance, legal, and operational obligations.
As a general rule, personal data may be retained for the duration of the user’s Account. After an Account has been closed, Flowbit may continue to retain certain information where necessary to comply with applicable law, satisfy partner or service provider requirements, prevent fraud, investigate suspicious activity, process disputes, chargebacks, refunds, or negative balances, protect the rights of Flowbit, or satisfy accounting, tax, audit, or legal obligations.
Certain categories of information relating to transactions, Cards, verification procedures, compliance, disputes, chargebacks, security, anti-fraud activities, legal obligations, or partner requirements may be retained for at least five (5) years following the closure of an Account, completion of a transaction, termination of the relationship with the user, or completion of the relevant dispute, investigation, or review, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted under applicable law, partner requirements, service provider obligations, card network rules, court orders, regulatory requirements, or decisions of competent authorities.
Where personal data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected, and continued retention is not required by applicable law, partner requirements, security, dispute resolution, chargeback handling, fraud prevention, compliance obligations, or protection of Flowbit’s rights, Flowbit may delete, anonymize, or restrict the processing of such personal data where reasonably practicable and technically feasible.
