We anticipate that we will use the data collected from MyNIL’s platform and its related sites to provide various AI insights to use in MyNIL’s operations.

Out of respect for your privacy, you may choose to opt out and MyNIL will not be permitted to use your data in the AI insights process. Please following the instructions to complete the opt out on the preferences tab in your account settings page or you can contact us at Admin@MyNILBrand.com.

For your protection and the protection of all of our users, we may ask you for information to verify your identity or authority to act on behalf of a user before we can answer the above requests. Keep in mind, we may reject requests, including if we are unable to authenticate you, if the request is unlawful or invalid, or if it may infringe on trade secrets or intellectual property or the privacy or other rights of someone else.

If you are a resident of Virginia, Colorado, or Connecticut, USA, if we deny your privacy request, you may be able to appeal by contacting us, and explicitly referencing “Privacy Request Appeal.” If you have concerns about the result of your appeal, you may contact the attorney general for your state.

We want the connections you make through our service to last forever, but we keep your personal data only as long as necessary for legitimate business reasons (as laid out in Section 3) and as permitted by applicable law.

Following account closure, we delete your data as laid out below:

1. To protect the safety and security of our users, we implement a safety retention window of three months following account closure. During this period, we keep your data to investigate unlawful or harmful conducts. The retention of data during this safety retention window is based on our legitimate interest as well as that of potential third-party victims.

2. We maintain limited data on the basis of our legitimate interest: to support our safety efforts, to support our customer care decisions, and enable us to defend ourselves in the event of a claim, profile data for one year in anticipation of potential litigation, for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, and data necessary to prevent users who were banned from opening a new account for as long as necessary to ensure the safety and vital interests of our users.

3. Finally, we maintain data on the basis of our legitimate interest where there is an outstanding or potential issue, claim or dispute requiring us to keep data in particular if we receive a valid legal subpoena or request asking us to preserve data (in which case we would need to keep the data to comply with our legal obligations) or if data would otherwise be necessary as part of legal proceedings.

4. Where and as legally permitted, we may maintain and use data that, by itself, cannot identify or be attributed specifically to you for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to improve our service, create new features, technologies and services, and keep MyNIL services safe.
