1. Purpose of Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as it is necessary to:

- Comply with legal and regulatory requirements
- Resolve disputes and enforce agreements
- Support legitimate business operations such as analytics and security
If you have questions about how long specific categories of data are retained, please contact info@percentagecalculatorshub.com.
2. Categories of Data and Retention Periods
We retain different types of data for different lengths of time:

- Transactional Records (e.g., purchases, invoices): Retained for a minimum of 7 years to comply with tax and accounting obligations.
- Marketing and Newsletter Data: Retained until you unsubscribe, opt out, or request deletion.
- User-Generated Content: Retained as long as it remains relevant to our services or until removal is requested.
- Analytics Data (cookies, tracking logs): Typically retained for up to 26 months unless otherwise required.
3. Legal and Regulatory Compliance
Certain data must be retained longer to comply with legal requirements, including tax, accounting, and fraud-prevention obligations. When data is no longer required for compliance, it will be securely deleted or anonymized.
4. User Rights and Deletion Requests
