The specific retention period for different types of Google user data depends on the nature of the data and our legal obligations. Once the retention period expires, data is securely deleted or anonymized.
Data Deletion. Users have the right to request the deletion of their data at any time. Upon request, PointOne will delete the user's Google data from our servers in a timely manner, in accordance with applicable legal requirements. This includes all copies of the data, unless retention of the data is required by law or for legitimate business purposes.
