Effect of Terminating Your Account: After the termination of Your Account by either You or Impanix, you will no longer be able to access and use the Services. However, termination will not release you from paying all Subscription Charges that accrued before the termination. Impanix will delete all Service Data, including Your login and Account information, within forty-five (45) days from the effective date of termination of Your Account (Data Retention Period), unless legally prohibited. You can request Impanix to export Service Data within the Data Retention Period, but once it is deleted, Service Data cannot be recovered.

CONFIDENTIALITY, DATA PRIVACY AND SECURITY

If you are given a user identification code, login, password or any other confidential information as part of our security procedures, it is your responsibility to treat it as confidential and not disclose it to any third party. Failure to comply with this obligation may result in unauthorized access or loss of data in your account, for which we will not be responsible.

For the purposes of these terms, Confidential Information includes any information labeled as such or which a reasonable person would understand to be confidential, including user identification codes, logins, passwords, and Service Data. Confidential Information does not include information that is publicly known, obtained from a third party without breach of confidentiality, or required by law to be disclosed.

Both parties are obligated to protect the other’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure with no less than reasonable care. Each party may only use the other’s Confidential Information for the purposes of these terms and may disclose it only to employees, representatives, and agents who have a need to know and are bound to maintain confidentiality. Impanix and its affiliates may access or disclose information about you or your account, including Service Data, for legal advice or to prevent infringement of proprietary rights, with prior notification to you if it will not harm their interests.

Impanix will implement appropriate security measures to protect Service Data during the subscription term as specified in its security policy. Personal data included in Service Data will only be processed by us as a data processor for the purposes outlined in these terms and in accordance with the Data Processing Addendum.
