Excerpt from Monday.com's Privacy Policy

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (regulatory & governance intelligence)

1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: GDPR's data minimization and storage limitation principles require that personal data be retained no longer than necessary for the specified purpose. The absence of defined retention periods in the public policy may require evaluation against GDPR Article 5(1)(e). The CCPA does not impose specific retention period requirements but requires disclosure of retention practices. UK GDPR imposes equivalent storage limitation requirements. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The policy references an internal data retention policy that is not published alongside the Privacy Policy, meaning external auditors and data subjects cannot independently assess compliance with the storage limitation principle without requesting additional documentation. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK supervisory authorities have scrutinized the absence of specific retention period disclosures in privacy policies. Organizations processing data subject to GDPR should assess whether monday.com can provide specific retention schedules upon request, including through the Data Processing Addendum. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers should request monday.com's internal data retention schedule as part of vendor due diligence and confirm that retention periods for Customer Data are addressed in the Data Processing Addendum. Post-termination data deletion timelines should be explicitly agreed. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should request the referenced internal data retention policy document and assess its alignment with applicable regulatory requirements in relevant jurisdictions. Data mapping exercises should document expected retention periods for each category of data processed through the platform.
