Data retention

P2P will only retain the User’s Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes P2P collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate Personal Data retention period, P2P considers the volume, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the User’s Personal Data, the purposes for which P2P processes the User’s Personal Data, whether these purposes could be achieved through any other means, and the applicable legal requirements. By law, for accounting and tax purposes P2P has to keep basic information about our Users (including contact, identity, and transaction data) for seven (07) years after they cease being Users.
