    “In some cases, we need to retain Personal Data for longer even after you delete it, for example because we are legally required to, to address fraud and abuse, for security reasons, or for financial record-keeping purposes.”

Score reasons and deltaScore values are stored AI-assisted screening outputs. Verified anchors confirm only that the quoted passage occurs in the named snapshot; they do not prove the interpretation.

Questions before reuse

  1. Does the original Privacy Policy source still match the recorded public snapshot version 3?
  2. Do the cited source passages support each displayed reason, KPI value and regional note?
  3. Which advisory framework topics require specialist legal, risk or governance review for this use case?
  4. Has a later public change superseded this packet before it is reused in a decision or publication?
