We will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.
 
Access VG, LLC will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our Service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods. Specific retention periods include: 365 days for inactive members/accounts, then archived for 2 years with PII purged; 180 days for inactive programs; shorter for logs (e.g., days for web events).

If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to the United States and process it there.
 
Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

Onward transfers to sub-processors (e.g., US-based suppliers, hotels in various countries) use Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) where applicable, or Article 49(1)(b) derogations for contract performance.
