We may retain and use your personal information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations. For example, TRAYLZ may keep some of your information for tax, legal reporting and auditing obligations.
Information you have shared with others (e.g., Reviews) may continue to be publicly visible on the TRAYLZ app, even after your TRAYLZ Account is cancelled. However, attribution of such information to you will be removed. Additionally, some copies of your information (e.g., log records) may remain in our database, but are disassociated from personal identifiers.
Because we maintain the TRAYLZ Service to protect from accidental or malicious loss and destruction, residual copies of your personal information may not be removed from our backup systems for a limited period of time.

Where you have provided your consent to the processing of your personal information by TRAYLZ you may withdraw your consent at any time by changing your Account settings or by sending a communication to TRAYLZ specifying which consent you are withdrawing. Please note that the withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing activities based on such consent before its withdrawal.

6.6 Objection to Processing.
In some jurisdictions, applicable law may entitle you to require TRAYLZ not to process your personal information for certain specific purposes (including profiling) where such processing is based on legitimate interest. If you object to such processing TRAYLZ will no longer process your personal information for these purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for such processing or such processing is required for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
