Information you have shared with others (e.g., product reviews, forum postings) may continue to be publicly visible on the thefitzip.com Site, even after your account is deleted. However, attribution of such information to you will be removed. Additionally, some copies of your information (e.g., log records) may remain in our database, but are disassociated from personal identifiers.

9. YOUR OPTIONS
thefitzip.com acknowledges your right to access your personal data. Whenever you use our services, we aim to provide you with access to your personal information. If that information is wrong, we strive to give you ways to update it quickly or to delete it – unless we must keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes. When updating your personal information, we may ask you to verify your identity before we can act on your request.
You can always update your information in your thefitzip.com Account or profile by visiting the My Account page or updating your thefitzip.com profile.
We may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (e.g., developing a new system or fundamentally changing an existing practice), risk the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup systems). Where we can provide information access and correction, we will do so for free, except where it would require a disproportionate effort.
We aim to maintain our services in a manner that protects information from accidental or malicious destruction. Because of this, after you delete information from our services, we may not immediately delete residual copies from our active servers and may not remove information from our backup systems.
10. Right to Know and Access Your Personal Information
You may submit a verifiable request for information regarding the: (a) categories of personal data we collect, use, or share; (b) purposes for which categories of personal data are collected or used by thefitzip.com; (c) categories of sources from which we collect personal data; and (d) specific pieces of personal data we have collected about you.
11 Data Retention and Erasure
We generally retain your personal information for as long as is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and us and to comply with our legal obligations. If you no longer want us to use your information to provide the thefitzip.com Site(s) to you, and subject to thefitzip.com’s legitimate interest exceptions, you can request that we erase your personal information and close your thefitzip.com account. Please note that if you request the erasure of your personal information: We may retain some of your personal information as necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as fraud detection and prevention and enhancing safety.
We may retain and use your personal information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations. For example, thefitzip.com may keep some of your information for tax, legal, and auditing obligations.
We may retain and use your FITZP username associated with forum threads unless your FITZIP username contains personally identifiable information (i.e., first and last name) based on our legitimate interest in ensuring the ongoing management of its business and maintaining an acceptable and interrupted experience for other forum users. thefitzip.com will erase the account associated with such posts, such that the profile associated with the username is blank/anonymous in the event another user clicks on the username; however, the username will remain associated with any certain post or reply.
Information you have shared with others (e.g., product reviews, forum postings) may continue to be publicly visible on the thefitzip.com Site, even after your account is deleted. However, attribution of such information to you will be removed. Additionally, some copies of your information (e.g., log records) may remain in our database, but are disassociated from personal identifiers.
Because we maintain the thefitzip.com Site(s) to protect from accidental or malicious loss and destruction, residual copies of your personal information may not be removed from our backup systems for a limited period of time.
