• Legal authorities, if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Ad Fontes Media, our users, or the public.
• Successor entities, in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, provided that the acquiring party agrees to honor this Privacy Policy.

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to provide our services, and to comply with legal obligations. Contact form submissions and associated CRM records are retained for up to three years following our last substantive interaction with you, unless you request deletion earlier or we are required to retain them longer by law.
