The 15-day default retention period is qualified by open-ended exceptions that permit indefinite retention, meaning deletion does not guarantee prompt removal of inputs.
Interpretive note: The excerpt ends with an ellipsis after 'legally required to,' suggesting additional exceptions exist that are not visible in the quoted text. The canonical claim reflects only the exceptions explicitly stated.
The updated policy now explicitly authorizes collection of voice and audio inputs, precise geolocation data (with your consent), contact and calendar information from third-party platforms, and inferences about your emotional state and sentiment based on your inputs. Conversation outputs are retained indefinitely for purposes stated in the Terms of Service, while inputs are retained for at most 15 days after deletion (with exceptions for fraud, security, legal, or financial record-keeping). You can opt out of voice-based emotion inference in your Account settings page, and you can stop precise location collection by changing preferences on your mobile device or in Account settings.

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.
