Once we receive your data deletion request, we follow this process:

Acknowledgement: We will confirm receipt of your request within 5 business days. For Facebook-initiated requests, a confirmation code and status URL are provided immediately.

In certain circumstances, we may be required or permitted by applicable law to retain specific data even after a deletion request has been approved. These exceptions include:

Legal & Regulatory Obligations: Data required to comply with applicable federal, state, or local laws, regulations, legal proceedings, or enforceable governmental requests.
