Data Retention & Deletion Policy

We keep your data only as long as we need it to run the service, meet legal requirements, and maintain security. Here's how that breaks down:

• Account and workspace data — kept as long as your account is active, unless you ask us to delete it sooner.
• Financial records — royalty statements, transactions, and related data may be kept longer when required for tax or legal compliance.
• Bank connections — when you disconnect a linked bank account, we remove the connection credentials immediately.
• Security logs — retained on a rolling basis depending on how critical they are, then automatically purged.

When you request deletion, we verify your identity, check for any legal holds, then permanently remove or anonymize your data. Some deleted data may remain in encrypted backups until those backups naturally rotate out.
