4. Limited Retention & Security Exceptions

In strict compliance with statutory regulations and platform security requirements:

  • Active Abuse Block Hashes: If an account or device was blocked for severe harassment or illegal activity, the one-way cryptographic block-hash may be retained for up to 30 days solely to protect other users from repeat abuse.
  • Statutory Preservation: Where a formal legal hold or law enforcement order exists prior to deletion, specific records may be preserved as mandated by applicable law.
