6. Data Retention
NiaTube retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Platform, fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect the security and integrity of the Platform.
Different categories of information may be retained for different periods depending on the nature of the information, the services provided, applicable legal requirements, and legitimate business needs. For example, financial records, creator payout information, tax records, and compliance documentation may be retained for longer periods where required by law or regulatory obligations.
When personal information is no longer required, NiaTube will take reasonable steps to securely delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of the information in accordance with applicable law and our internal data governance practices.
Responsible Data Management
NiaTube is committed to responsible information lifecycle management. We regularly review our data retention practices to ensure personal information is retained only for appropriate, legitimate, and lawful purposes.

Our security program may include identity verification, encryption where appropriate, authentication controls, monitoring systems, access controls, infrastructure security, fraud detection, vulnerability management, and other measures intended to protect the Platform and its users.
While NiaTube works continuously to maintain strong security practices, no method of electronic transmission, storage, or processing can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users also play an important role by maintaining strong passwords, protecting account credentials, and promptly reporting suspected unauthorized access.

Security is a shared responsibility. NiaTube continuously improves Platform security while encouraging users and creators to follow good security practices and help protect their own accounts.
