Data Lama does not keep your personal data longer than necessary, taking into account the need to answer questions, resolve problems, improve our services and offer new ones, and to meet legal requirements. We keep the data for a maximum of five years after the end of Data Lama’s activities. At any time, you can request the deletion of your data or the termination of a subscription to our newsletter.
