ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This clause defines the baseline duration for which Linear holds Personal Data, meaning data is not deleted simply because it is no longer actively used but persists for the full account lifetime.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

A reader's Personal Data will be retained by Linear throughout the period their account remains open and potentially beyond, for as long as necessary to provide the Services.
