    How does Corso’s Cookies secure information?

    Although we employ technical and organizational controls that we believe are reasonably appropriate to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee that our security precautions will protect against the loss or misuse of information. Similarly, we cannot guarantee the privacy of information you transmit over the Internet or that may be collected in transit by others, including contractors that provide services to us.  However, when we ask a third party to process user information on our behalf, we will ensure that the third party has appropriate security measures before sharing any information.

     

    How long does Corso’s Cookies keep information?

    We keep information for as long as necessary for the purposes mentioned in this Privacy Statement, including for fulfilling our contractual and legal obligations and for as long as a user accepts marketing communications from us. We may also process and retain information for other purposes, if and/or for as long as the law allows us to retain it for certain purposes. This includes defense against possible legal claims. 

    If you request that we delete your personal information in accordance with the provisions outlined above, we’ll do our best to carry out your request as soon as possible, but we cannot promise that deletion will occur within a specific timeframe. In addition, there may be circumstances where we will not be able to honor your request. For example, suppose you request 100% deletion. In that case, we may still need to retain certain personal information to complete a transaction you initiated, to comply with legal and/or regulatory obligations, to notify you of product recalls or safety issues, if we become aware of abuse or other violations of our Terms of Service, or for other permitted purposes.
