A defined retention ceiling gives users a baseline expectation for how long their data is held, while the legitimate business interest exception allows Fastly to extend retention beyond that ceiling.
Your personal data will generally be retained no longer than the duration of your business relationship with Fastly plus seven years, though Fastly may retain it longer if it has a legitimate business interest need to do so.
How other platforms handle this
We may retain some of your Data even after you cease to use our Services, for instance if the Data is necessary to meet our legal obligations, such as tax and accounting requirements.
Where specific retention periods are required by law, we comply with those timeframes; otherwise, we apply the criteria above to determine how long to retain the information.
If the Services are made available to you through an organization (e.g., your employer), we retain your information as long as required by the administrator of your account.
