Businesses may not offer  unjust, unreasonable, coercive, or usurious financial incentives. We do not offer any financial incentives  at this time.

  1. HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS 

We may ask you to provide additional Personal Information so that we can properly identify you in our  dataset and to track compliance with your opt-out request. We will only use Personal Information  provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request. If you chose not to provide this  information, we may only be able to process your request to the extent we are able to identify you in our  data systems. 

To exercise any of the above rights, please submit a request by e-mail to us at: info@scottgroup.consulting

Although we try to limit the Personal Information collected in connection with a request to exercise any  of the above rights, certain requests may require us to obtain additional Personal Information from you.  In certain circumstances, we may decline a request, particularly where we are unable to verify your  identity or locate your information in our systems, or where you are not a resident of one of the eligible  states. 

If you are located in a country that falls under the scope of the GDPR, there may be data protection laws  that give you certain rights with respect to your Personal Information, subject to any exemptions provided  by such laws, including the rights to:

  1. DATA RETENTION 

We may retain Personal Information while an individual uses our Services according to this Privacy Policy.  If an individual stops using our Services, we will keep their Personal Information as necessary to meet our  legal obligations, resolve disputes, defend claims, and for any other purposes based on their choices, such  as receiving marketing communications. Specifically, we retain records of conversations, purchase history, personal information provided when using our Services, complaints, and other details from the duration  of the individual’s contract until the statutory limitation periods expire if needed for legal claims.

We may keep Personal Information only for as long as needed to achieve the purpose for which it was  collected. However, if required by legal, tax, or accounting regulations set by authorities, we may retain  it for longer periods until the relevant retention periods or deadlines have passed. 

In determining how long to retain Personal Information, we assess factors such as the data’s amount,  nature, and sensitivity, the potential risks of unauthorized use or disclosure, and whether we can achieve  our goals through other means. We also consider our legal, regulatory, tax, and accounting obligations. 

Once the Personal Information is no longer required for these purposes, we will either delete or deidentify  it. If deletion or deidentification is not possible (e.g., if the data is in backup archives), we will securely  store the information and prevent further processing until it can be deleted or deidentified.
