7. Data Retention and Deletion

8. Data Location and Service Routing
Customers may select preferred infrastructure regions.
Traffic is normally processed within the selected service region. For availability and failover purposes, if the selected infrastructure endpoint becomes unavailable, traffic may be temporarily routed to another available endpoint within the same geographic region where reasonably possible.
Examples:
- European regions → failover to another European location
- United States regions → failover to another United States location
Such routing is intended solely for continuity and availability purposes.

| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Stripe | Payment processing and billing |
| PayPal | Payment processing and billing |

12. Audit and Information Requests
Upon reasonable written request, Localtonet may provide available information regarding processing and security practices for Customer compliance assessments.
