We endeavor to ensure an adequate level of protection at the transfer destination by leveraging "Adequacy Decisions" between Japan and the EEA, relying on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and other appropriate safeguards implemented by our subprocessors in countries without such decisions (such as the United States), and verifying their technical and organizational measures.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
6.1 During the Account's Lifetime
For as long as a user's account is active (whether on a paid plan or in the free (Free) state), we will continue to retain the user's data.

When a user deletes their Service account (withdraws), we will delete data tied to that user's tenant in the production database (including account information, input data, Amazon connection information, and SP-API refresh tokens) within 30 days of the date of withdrawal.
