What it is

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

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

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.
