We prioritize storage solutions that localize data within specific regions, ensuring compliance with each territory's data protection regulations.
• Data Security and Management Practices: MV employs advanced cryptographic techniques to encrypt all transferred personal data, ensuring its protection even if intercepted. Our routine audits validate the robustness of our data safeguards, ensuring continual compliance with GDPR, PIPEDA, and LAW 25. Access to this data is strictly limited to essential personnel, enforced by role-based access controls and multi-factor authentication. In line with minimizing data exposure, we transfer only the necessary data pertinent to its purpose, retain it strictly for its intended duration, and subsequently ensure its secure deletion.

10. RIGHT TO ERASURE/RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN: In compliance with certain data privacy legislation, you may have the right to request the deletion of your Personal Information. Upon receiving such a request, we will review your request and determine whether it meets the criteria for erasure under applicable data protection laws in your jurisdiction. While verifying your identity to ensure that the request is legitimate. Please note that unless you have created an account with us, we may not have sufficient information to identify you and therefore may not be able to respond to your request. Additionally, in some cases, we may ask you to provide additional information or documentation for verification purposes.

If your request is approved and deemed legitimate, we will immediately start the process of removing your data from our systems. First, we aim to immediately remove it from public view, and the data may no longer be used to personalize your experience.

Deleting your account will render all your personal data and account-related information, including but not limited to user profile data, sharing data, and any content specifically associated with your account, inaccessible. If you wish to rejoin our platform, you will need to fill out any required information as if you are a first-time user. Your new account will not be subject to the pending deletion request; if you wish to delete the new account, a new request must be submitted.

We then begin a process designed to safely and completely delete the data from our storage systems. Safe deletion is important to protect our users and customers from accidental data loss. Complete deletion of data from our servers is equally important for users’ peace of mind. This process generally takes around 2 months from the time of deletion. This often includes up to a month-long recovery period in case the data was removed unintentionally.

Each MV storage system from which data gets deleted has its own detailed process for safe and complete deletion. This might involve repeated passes through the system to confirm all data has been deleted, or brief delays to allow for recovery from mistakes. As a result, deletion could sometimes take longer when extra time is needed to safely and completely delete the data. 

Our services also use encrypted backup storage as another layer of protection to help recover from potential disasters. Data can remain on these systems for up to 6 months. 

As with any deletion process, things like routine maintenance, unexpected outages, bugs, or failures in our protocols may cause delays in the processes and timeframes defined in this article. We maintain systems designed to detect and remediate such issues.

Sometimes business and legal requirements oblige us to retain certain information, for specific purposes, for an extended period of time, please refer to the DATA RETENTION section in this privacy policy for further information. 

To request the deletion of your personal data, please follow the procedure below:

Submission of Request:

• You can submit your deletion request by contacting our Data Protection Officer (DPO).
• Include the following information in your request:
• Full name
• Email address associated with your account
• Username
• Detailed description of the data you wish to have deleted

11. DATA RETENTION: MV adheres to the principle of retaining personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. However, in some cases, business and legal requirements may require extended retention periods, typically ranging from three to ten years.

11.1 Reasons for Data Retention: We may retain data for the following purposes:

• Financial Record-Keeping & Legal Compliance: When processing payments, complying with tax regulations, or fulfilling record-keeping obligations, we may retain financial data for up to 10 years to meet legal and regulatory requirements. This includes adhering to financial/tax reporting laws and responding to valid legal requests such as preservation orders or search warrants.
• Security, Fraud, and Abuse Prevention: Data may be retained to identify and report illegal activity, protect user safety, prevent fraud, and enforce our Terms of Service. In cases where a user is banned from the platform for violating our policies, we may retain relevant records to prevent unauthorized re-registration.

• Retention of Advertising Data: For data collected through cookies and tracking technologies, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

11.2 Data Retention Timeframes

• Retention of Personal Data: The duration of personal data retention is determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into account specific circumstances and compliance with applicable privacy laws. In general, personal data is retained for a period ranging from three to ten years, depending on the nature of the data and its purpose.
• Data Retention After Account Deletion: When an account is deleted, personal data is immediately removed from active systems. However, due to security and legal obligations, we may retain your data as per the above scenarios. This data is stored in a separate encrypted database and is inaccessible for any purpose other than security and legal obligations.

11.3 Encrypted Backup Archives: As part of our security measures, our services use encrypted backup storage as an additional layer of protection to help recover from potential disasters. Data can remain in these backup systems for up to six months before being permanently deleted. This backup data is stored separately, is inaccessible for any other purpose, and is automatically purged in compliance with data protection regulations.

12. UPDATES TO THIS POLICY: In alignment with the dynamic nature of privacy requirements and our commitment to transparency, we may update this Privacy Policy in response to evolving best practices. For Users or Uploaders, following any modifications, your next login will prompt an acknowledgment of these updates.
