Why it helps: This ensures that user data is not held indefinitely if an account becomes inactive, promoting data hygiene and privacy after a reasonable period of non-use.
If your account is inactive, we will maintain your account for the length of time for which we reasonably expect you to reengage with our Services. After such period, we will delete your personal information, including your email address and log-in credentials, and you may no longer be able to access your account.
