7. Retention

Freshco retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, to support legitimate business and operational requirements, and to meet legal, contractual, accounting, insurance, or regulatory obligations.

When personal information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to securely delete, destroy, or anonymize it.

No electronic system or method of transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
