AltoWeb is not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords, or for any activity on the User account via unauthorized password activity.

AltoWeb retains the information as long as required to satisfy the purpose for which it is collected and used (for example, for the time necessary for AltoWeb to provide the User with customer service, answer queries or resolve technical problems), unless a longer period is required by law or to establish, protect, or defend legal claims.
