Data Consent & Storage Duration

Personally identifiable information of EU citizens or residents will not be stored or processed without explicit consent. Consent may be granted via our website or any form filled-out to access or download content or register for a webinar, contact us form or person-to-person and digital conversations. By performing any one of these actions, you give us permission to process and store your personally identifiable information in regard to SCLLC’s Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and EU Data Protection Center statement.

General Data Storage Duration

In general, SCLLC’s data retention policy requires the purge of most data within a range of six months to seven years in accordance with U.S. laws and regulations. Items not related to client engagements are purged within six years or less.

Zoom Meetings

Personally identifiable information stored and processed via Zoom Meetings will be kept for 365 days after creation date and then automatically deleted.

Personally identifiable information will be retained under these circumstances because the respective individual has requested to remain in our data systems and processors by continuing to engage with SCLLC content.

Personally identifiable information of individuals who have not engaged with SCLLC content in more than five years will be automatically purged from Marketo and Freshsales.
