ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The provision creates differentiated retention schedules across API product lines, establishing operational periods during which Mistral AI maintains access to input and output data for service delivery, abuse detection, and account-based services. The authorization for zero data retention represents an alternative configuration users may elect.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users' API inputs and outputs remain retained by Mistral AI under the stated schedule unless they activate zero data retention; for Agents and Fine-Tuning APIs specifically, data retention extends through account lifecycle or until explicit deletion by the user. The terms authorize a rolling 30-day post-processing retention window for standard API usage to support abuse monitoring.
