ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The retention period is not fixed; Home Depot's discretion over what is 'reasonably necessary' means personal information may be held indefinitely beyond the active relationship.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

A consumer's personal information may be held by Home Depot past the end of their relationship, for an unspecified duration tied to Home Depot's judgment of reasonable necessity.
