ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes an indefinite retention period for AI-generated outputs, cross-referencing Section 4 of the Terms of Service rather than setting out the applicable purposes directly in the privacy policy. The exceptions to the 15-day input deletion window permit extended retention for a range of operational and legal purposes.

Interpretive note: The purposes justifying indefinite output retention are cross-referenced to Terms of Service Section 4 rather than stated directly in the privacy policy; the full text of Section 4 was not included in the document excerpt provided, creating uncertainty about the complete scope of the retention basis.

The updated policy establishes broader data collection practices than previously disclosed. The terms now explicitly state the company collects voice and audio inputs alongside text, whereas prior language specified only text and other materials. Additionally, the policy now discloses collection of precise geolocation information with user consent and authorization to access contacts, emails, calendars, and documents from third-party platforms. You can stop collection of precise location information at any time through the Your Choices section.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this provision, AI-generated outputs from Pi conversations are retained indefinitely as stated in the Terms of Service, while user inputs are generally deleted within 15 days of account deletion subject to stated exceptions. The cross-reference to Section 4 of the Terms of Service for the basis of indefinite output retention means users must consult a separate document to understand the full scope of output retention purposes.

What you can do

For users of Pi, we generally retain inputs for at most 15 days after user deletion. In some cases, we retain inputs for longer, such as if needed to address fraud and abuse, for security reasons, if we are legally required to, or for financial record-keeping purposes. We retain outputs indefinitely for the limited purposes described in Section 4 of our Terms of Service.
