3. Retention

Lively has in place a records-retention schedule reflecting our intended retention periods for certain types of information. The following reflects the longest applicable intended retention period by personal-information category for information related to California consumers acquired on or after January 1, 2023. Once the intended retention period has passed, subject information is to be deleted or modified such that it is no longer personal information.

Business Purpose CategoriesLength of Retention
Commercial Information10 years after expiration of contractual obligations
Education Information10 years after termination of employment
Geolocation DataUp to 3 years
IdentifiersUp to 10 years after last activity, subject to contractual obligations
Identifiers (Online)Up to 3 years
Information Related to Characteristics Protected Under California or Federal LawUp to 10 years after last activity, subject to contractual obligations
Internet and Other Electronic Network Activity InformationUp to 3 years
Other Financial, Medical and Health InformationUp to 10 years after last activity, subject to contractual obligations
Profile InferencesUp to 3 years
Professional or Employment-Related Information10 years after termination of employment
Sensory Information7 years

There are a number of reasons personal information may be retained longer than the intended retention period. For example, deletion or modification does not happen immediately after a retention period has passed and instead executes periodically, no less frequently than annually. Additionally, some information systems or information may be placed on legal records hold due to potential litigation or regulatory review and information, therefore, is not deleted or modified.
