Where a legal basis is required, processing may be based on performance of a contract, steps requested before entering a contract, legitimate interests in operating and securing PMCDB, consent where a feature is optional, or compliance with legal obligations.

6. Retention

Account data and saved work are generally retained while your account remains active or as necessary to provide the service.

Cancelling Pro does not automatically delete your PMCDB account or saved work.

Billing, security, support and transaction records may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for legal, accounting, fraud-prevention, security or dispute-resolution purposes.

When data is deleted, residual copies may remain temporarily in backups until those backups are overwritten in the ordinary course.

You may turn optional email digests off at any time, including through available account controls or unsubscribe links.

You may request access to, correction of or deletion of your personal data by emailing support@pmcdb.com.

We may request reasonable information necessary to verify the identity of a person making a privacy request.

8. International processing

PMCDB and its service providers may process information in the United States and other countries in which the relevant provider operates.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers of personal data, PMCDB relies on lawful transfer mechanisms made available through its service providers or other permitted mechanisms.
