This provision establishes the operational parameters for data lifecycle management within Chegg's systems. It clarifies that retention duration is tied to specific business and legal purposes rather than indefinite storage, and identifies the conditions under which deletion or anonymization procedures are triggered.
Users' personal information will be retained throughout the duration of active account status and for specified operational and legal purposes after account closure. The provision authorizes removal or anonymization once those purposes no longer apply, but does not establish specific timelines for deletion or define how long 'as needed' extends in practice.
