Data Retention Policy

Pendrive.me ("Pendrive.me," "we," "our," or "us") maintains certain user information, operational records, and platform-related data for the purpose of providing digital storage and file transfer services, maintaining infrastructure stability, improving platform performance, ensuring security, complying with legal obligations, preventing abuse, resolving disputes, and supporting business operations. This Data Retention Policy explains how Pendrive.me may retain, manage, delete, or remove data associated with the platform and user accounts.

By accessing, registering for, purchasing, or using Pendrive.me services, users acknowledge and agree to the practices described in this Data Retention Policy.

Pendrive.me may retain account information including user registration details, email addresses, login records, authentication information, subscription details, payment-related records, technical logs, device information, usage activity, support communications, and operational metadata for as long as reasonably necessary to maintain platform functionality, security, legal compliance, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, infrastructure operations, or legitimate business purposes.

Uploaded files and transferred content may remain stored on cloud infrastructure systems, temporary caches, delivery networks, operational backups, replication systems, logs, or technical storage environments for a period of time even after deletion requests, transfer expiration, account closure, or file removal actions. Users acknowledge that immediate permanent deletion from all systems, backups, replicas, caches, or infrastructure components may not always be technically possible.

Pendrive.me reserves the right to automatically remove, archive, restrict, or delete files, inactive accounts, expired transfers, inactive storage allocations, temporary data, unused content, abandoned accounts, or operational records based on system requirements, storage limitations, operational policies, technical considerations, infrastructure management, legal obligations, abuse prevention, or business continuity requirements.

Users are solely responsible for maintaining independent backups of all important files, documents, media, and data uploaded to the platform. Pendrive.me does not guarantee permanent file retention, perpetual storage availability, uninterrupted access, or recovery of deleted, expired, corrupted, or inaccessible content.

Pendrive.me may retain certain records, logs, metadata, security information, transactional data, operational history, or investigation-related information where necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulatory obligations, legal processes, law enforcement requests, dispute resolution requirements, fraud prevention measures, cybersecurity investigations, or protection of platform rights and safety.

If an account is suspended, restricted, terminated, or involved in investigations relating to abuse, fraud, illegal activities, security risks, intellectual property disputes, or violations of platform policies, Pendrive.me may retain associated records, metadata, logs, uploaded content references, and related operational information for investigation, enforcement, compliance, or legal purposes.

Pendrive.me reserves the right to determine retention periods, deletion schedules, backup management practices, archival procedures, operational storage requirements, and infrastructure handling processes at its sole discretion.

Pendrive.me may modify, update, or revise this Data Retention Policy at any time without prior notice. Updated versions become effective immediately upon publication on the platform. Continued use of Pendrive.me after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

By accessing or using Pendrive.me, users acknowledge that they have read, understood, and agreed to this Data Retention Policy in full.
