How Long Do We Retain Your Personal Information

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements. For example:

Comments and their metadata may be retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
Contact‑form submissions are retained for up to 24 months.
Job‑application information is retained for one year unless you become an employee, in which case we keep the data as part of your employment records.

After the retention periods described above, we will delete or anonymize your personal information.

We do not require your Social Security number (SSN) to browse our Site. If we request an SSN—for example, in connection with employment applications or to comply with tax or payroll obligations—we will use it only for the purpose for which it is legally permitted.
