This provision establishes the operational framework governing the company's data lifecycle management, defining both the retention triggers (service provision and stated purposes) and the mandatory procedures for data disposition (deletion, anonymization, or isolation). The clause creates a procedural obligation to eventually eliminate retained data rather than maintain indefinite archives.
Users' personal information will be retained only while actively used to provide services or fulfill disclosed purposes, and the terms obligate the company to delete or anonymize such data once no longer needed. The provision specifies that backup archives, if they prevent immediate deletion, must be isolated from active processing until deletion becomes technically feasible.

"We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide our Services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. When we no longer need personal information, we securely delete or anonymize it. If this is not possible (for example, because personal information has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store the personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.— Excerpt from Monday.com's Monday.com Privacy Policy
