Whenever we collect personal information from you, we may do so on the following legal bases:

1. Your consent to such collection and use;

In all circumstances, we will limit such processing for our legitimate business interest to what is necessary for its purposes.

3.4. Our Retention Of Your Personal Information

We may retain your personal information for a period of time consistent with the original purpose for collection.
