That being said, user data is retained on a secure, encrypted, hosted data store. Furthermore, our staff have agreed to abide by security policies and are subject to discipline for any breach should it occur.

We do not store your user passwords in plain text, and if you ask us we cannot retrieve these for you. If you have lost your password there are automated functions on our site to help you. Which is nice, really.
In the unlikely event that police or a court of law require us to supply them with your personal information, we will only do so in accordance with the specific law of the jurisdictions in which we operate: Specifically, Canada and the USA. These countries have a number of specific regulations to protect you from unlawful invasions of your privacy. Data and information shared in such scenarios will be exported in encrypted formats complying to responsibility sharing and transfer through Non-Disclosure Agreements between Gushou and associated parties.
When debugging, troubleshooting, resolving a dispute, or coding Gushou, employees of Gushou can and may look at personal user data. Gushou employees (Staff Access Levels: Admin, Dev team, 3rd party) must adhere to strict privacy protection guidelines when viewing personal user data and will never disclose such data to 3rd parties or use it for any purpose outside the scope of the proper maintenance of Gushou.
If you wish to delete your personal data, you can do this by deleting your account through our account deletion tool. Once an account is deleted, all your personal data is removed from our servers and cannot be restored.

That information may then be transferred within North America or to other countries outside of your residence, depending on the type of information and how it is stored with us. These countries (including Canada and United States of America) may not necessarily have data protection and privacy laws as comprehensive or protective as those in your country of residence; however, our collection, storage and use of your Personal Data will at all times continue to be governed by this Privacy Policy.
