Wix's privacy policy retained existing language describing how the company determines data retention periods by considering data sensitivity, harm risk, processing purposes, and legal requirements. In an update detected on August 3, 2026, this retention determination language appears to have been reemphasized or clarified within the Retention of Information section. The operational effect is a restatement of the company's retention criteria rather than a change to how data is actually retained.
The updated privacy policy reiterates how Wix determines retention periods for personal information. Wix states it considers data amount, nature, sensitivity, potential harm from unauthorized disclosure, processing purposes, and applicable legal requirements. This is a clarification of existing retention criteria rather than a change to how long Wix actually retains data or what data is collected.
Restated factors used to determine retention: data amount, nature, sensitivity, harm risk, processing purposes, and legal requirements.
