Do Not Track Signals
Do Not Track (DNT) signals are signals sent through a browser informing us that you do not want to be tracked. We do not assign any meaning to DNT signals as there is no consistent industry standard for compliance.

Further, at your request, we will update personal information that you have provided to us, or that we have collected. You may do so by contacting us via email at support@beanstalkbenefits.com; however, we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others or would be extremely impractical.
6. Data Retention and Deletion

Upon your request or when the personal information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, we will take reasonable steps to delete, destroy, or anonymize your personal information in a secure manner.
