5. Data The Author Processes Only if You Submit it. When you send an email or purchase a software license, the information provided by you can be transferred to the author.
The submitted data usually is sent to the author to register you as a licensed user. In this case the author will be able to send you a license key, a link to download or the full version of the author's products. Basic information about you, including email is needed to enter into a license agreement. If you do not give it to the author, then the author will not be able to provide you with the ordered licensed materials, as he does not know who and where to send them.
Timeframe for Keeping Data
Author may keep the registration data about customers all the time until we terminate the license agreement and for another five years thereafter for legal obligations.
Unimportant personal data like email messages and log files may be removed at any time if it is no longer useful.
