This provision establishes the operational framework for data lifecycle management, allocating configuration authority to customers while maintaining Mixpanel's discretion over retention periods needed for service delivery and legal compliance.

Users may configure how long Mixpanel retains their personal data through platform settings, though retention periods remain subject to Mixpanel's service requirements and applicable legal obligations.
