Duration of Data Retention
Count It Labs retains information as long as it is necessary to provide the Services to users, subject to any legal obligations to further retain such information.

- Fee collection
- Dispute resolution
- Problem troubleshooting
- Assisting with investigations
- Enforcing the Terms of Service
- Other actions permitted by law
Data Processing After Retention Period
Information connected to users that is no longer necessary and relevant to provide our Services may be:

This de-identified and aggregated data may be used to provide commercially valuable insights to Count It Labs, such as statistics about the use of the Services.
Compliance Assurance
All retained information will be handled in accordance with the Count It Labs Privacy Policy.
Data archiving and removal policy
Account Deletion Process
Count It Labs provides users with self-service tools to delete their accounts. Users can initiate the deletion process by using the designated deletion request option within the platform.
Permanent Data Removal
Upon receiving a deletion request, Count It Labs permanently and irreversibly removes the user's personal data from all systems. This deletion process is comprehensive and final.
Post-Deletion Status
After deletion is completed:
- User account information is permanently removed
- User activity data is permanently removed
- User standings on leaderboards are permanently removed
Reinstatement Limitations
Once a user's data has been deleted through this process, it cannot be reinstated. The deletion action is irreversible, and users would need to create a new account if they wish to use the Services again in the future.
