ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Pro users' content is not retained beyond the immediate service need, and a defined deletion point tied to service completion limits DeepL's ongoing possession of user-submitted material.

Interpretive note: The excerpt uses ellipsis, which may indicate omitted text between the two sentences. 'Complete performance' is not defined within the excerpt. The primary claim covers both the non-permanent storage and the deletion trigger; the temporary retention condition is recorded in omitted_material but is integral to the full picture.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Your texts, documents, and their translations or improvements submitted via DeepL Pro services will not be permanently stored and will be deleted after DeepL has fully performed the contracted service.
