Legal Claim. We may need to apply a “legal hold” that retains information beyond our typical retention period where we face threat of legal claim
or intent to establish a claim. In that case, we will retain the information until the hold is removed, which typically means the claim or
threat of claim has been resolved.

the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data.

numbers.
