You should always use a secure browser and exercise good judgment in using passwords, and avoid using the same or similar passwords across multiple sites.

8. Retention of, and Client Access to, Information

Leaf retains information for the time necessary and reasonable to fulfill the purposes outlined in the Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

We work to protect data from any type of destruction. Accordingly, we may not immediately delete or change residual copies, and we may not delete or change information from our backup systems. Unless a disproportionate effort is required, we will provide information access, and correction without charge. Clients may access their information by logging into their account. We make good-faith efforts to give you ways to update or to delete your information quickly, unless we need to keep that information for a legitimate business or legal purpose. Some changes require personal contact with an assigned Leaf representative.
