Baseten keeps your personal data for as long as needed for the purposes described in the policy, for legal compliance, resolving disputes, and enforcing its agreements, without specifying a fixed retention period.
This analysis describes what Baseten's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The policy does not specify fixed retention periods for different categories of personal data, instead using purpose-based and legal-obligation criteria, which means users cannot determine from this document alone how long specific data types will be retained.
Interpretive note: The absence of specific retention periods for defined data categories creates ambiguity about actual retention duration; the policy's language does not permit users to determine with certainty how long their data will be kept.
Personal data may be retained indefinitely as long as it is needed for legal compliance, dispute resolution, or enforcement purposes; no specific retention periods are defined in the policy for particular data categories.

"The Company will retain Your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use Your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.— Excerpt from Baseten's Baseten Privacy Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: GDPR's storage limitation principle requires that personal data be kept for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed, and that specific retention periods be communicated to data subjects. CCPA does not impose specific retention limits but requires that retention practices be disclosed. Vague retention language may require evaluation under GDPR for EU/EEA users. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The absence of specific retention periods for different data categories may create compliance exposure under GDPR for EU/EEA users, where regulators have indicated that purpose-based language alone may not satisfy transparency requirements without indicative timeframes. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users may have rights under GDPR to receive specific or indicative retention periods. California residents may request deletion of personal data, at which point retention justifications would need to be assessed against the specific request. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: B2B service agreements may need to address data retention periods for data processed on behalf of customers to ensure alignment with the customer's own retention obligations. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should develop and document a data retention schedule that maps retention periods to specific data categories and processing purposes, which can support both GDPR transparency obligations and CCPA deletion request processing.
