Please see information and instruction regarding your account deletion <span style="color: #5f44d2;"><a style="color: #5f44d2;" href="https://help.viber.com/hc/en-us/articles/9174583112861-Deactivate-or-Uninstall-Viber-on-Your-Phone"><strong>HERE</strong></a></span><strong>.</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Compliance with our legal obligations </strong>– we are required to retain certain types of data in order to comply with our obligations under applicable laws. For example, we need to retain transactions information to comply with tax legislation. In addition, we may retain certain types of personal data in the event we are required to do so subject to a binding legal request or a court order. Further, subject to EU Directive 2002/58/EC we are required to retain certain personal data (such as phone number) to convey messages and calls.</li> <li><strong>Dispute, claims and legal proceedings</strong> – if you have a dispute with us, we may retain certain types of personal data as necessary and applicable to your claims, including any legal proceedings between us, until such dispute was resolved, and following, if we find it necessary, in accordance with applicable statutory limitation periods. In addition<strong>, </strong>in the event you request to exercise your rights, we will maintain the applicable correspondence for as long as needed to demonstrate compliance, and usually in accordance with applicable statutory limitation periods.</li> <li><strong>Retention for Non-Users’ Data </strong>– If you are not a Viber user, and we process your data to enable Viber users to communicate with you via Viber Services, we will retain such data as long as it is relevant to Viber users, or until you have requested us to stop processing your phone number.

Furthermore, if one of our users used our Viber Out Services in order to communicate with you (i.e., call you through Viber), we will retain a log of such call (Call Detail Records – CDR – as detailed above), which will include your phone number, for 24 months from creation. In relation to Viber payment services we store non user data as long as it is relevant to a Viber payment services user (i.e. you are the sender or a recipient in a transaction with them or as part of a promotion).
