We will use commercially reasonable efforts to honor your requests for deletion; however, certain residual information may actively persist on the Service

about another person, or if you ask us to delete information, we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping (such as for fraud
prevention purposes). Your Personal Information may remain in our archives and information you update or delete, or information within a closed account, may

databases. In addition, we typically will not remove information you posted publicly through or on the Service. Bear in mind that neither you nor HackiAI can delete
all copies of information that has been previously shared with others on the Service. If your information is deleted, then your account may become deactivated.
