ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Retention is governed by three independent triggers — purpose fulfillment, legal requirements, or user deletion request — meaning data may persist until all applicable conditions are addressed.

Interpretive note: The clause establishes three independent grounds for retention; the canonical claim states the primary structure. All three grounds are noted in omitted_material.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users can request deletion of their personal data, but data may also be retained as long as its purpose is unfulfilled or as required by law, regardless of a deletion request.
