I have a few questions about itch.io’s data retention practices that I couldn’t find clear answers to in the FAQ or privacy policy:
- What specific user data is retained for legal or other reasons (e.g., transaction records, IP logs, backups, DMCA or dispute records)?
- Is there a formal data retention policy that specifies how long each category of retained data is kept? If so, could you provide the retention periods for each data type?
- Does any retained data ever get permanently deleted, or is some data retained indefinitely for legal/compliance reasons?
- When a user deletes their account, which types of data are removed and which (if any) are retained? Are there retention timelines that apply to post-deletion data?
- If applicable, what steps can a user take to request deletion of additional data or to receive confirmation of what was deleted?
Thank you for clarifying these points.
