What is a data retention clause?

A data retention clause is a provision in a platform's terms of service or privacy policy that governs data retention-related rights, obligations, or restrictions between the platform and users.

How many platforms have data retention clauses?

ConductAtlas currently tracks 126 platforms with data retention provisions, of which 13 are classified as high severity, 105 as medium, and 8 as low.

How is severity determined for data retention clauses?

ConductAtlas classifies each provision as high, medium, or low severity based on the magnitude of rights waived, availability of opt-out mechanisms, breadth of users affected, financial or legal exposure created, and the degree of discretion retained by the platform.

How often are data retention clauses updated?

ConductAtlas monitors all tracked platforms daily. Data Retention clauses are updated at varying frequencies depending on the platform — some revise quarterly, others remain stable for years. Every detected change is captured same-day with legal-grade evidence.

Can I get alerted when data retention clauses change?

Yes. Watcher subscribers ($9.99/month) can track up to 10 platforms and receive email alerts when those platforms update any clause including data retention. Professional subscribers ($149/month) get cross-platform clause monitoring that alerts on data retention changes across any tracked platform.
