The provision creates differentiated retention schedules across API product lines, with standard APIs subject to the 30-day rolling window while specialized APIs (Agents and Fine-Tuning) maintain longer retention periods tied to account lifecycle events. This structure establishes the operational framework for data lifecycle management across Mistral's API offerings.
If you or a business you use deploys Mistral AI's APIs, your conversation data is retained for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring unless the operator has enabled zero data retention — creating a window during which your data is accessible to Mistral AI.

"Data we use to provide our APIs to you: Except for specific APIs, we keep your Input and Output for the period necessary to generate the Output and then for thirty (30) rolling days to monitor abuse (unless zero data retention is activated). If you use our Agents API, we keep your Input and Output until you terminate your account. If you use our Fine-Tuning API, we keep your fine-tuning data until you delete it from Mistral AI Studio or until you terminate your account.— Excerpt from Mistral AI's Mistral AI Privacy Policy
(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates GDPR Art. 5(1)(e) (storage limitation principle), which requires personal data be kept no longer than necessary for the stated purpose. The 30-day retention for abuse monitoring must be justified by a documented necessity assessment. GDPR Art. 28(3)(g) requires data processing agreements to specify retention and deletion obligations, making this provision directly relevant to DPA compliance for commercial API customers. (2)
