“Upon expiration or termination of the Agreement, Customer may retrieve any Customer Personal Data it wishes to retain as described in the Agreement and, unless prohibited by Applicable Law, Pinecone will delete Customer Personal Data in accordance with the Documentation and Agreement.”
This analysis describes what Pinecone's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
This establishes a qualified deletion obligation on Pinecone at termination, with the scope and timing of deletion governed by the Documentation and Agreement rather than stated as immediate or absolute.
Interpretive note: The excerpt does not specify when during or after termination deletion occurs; that is deferred to the Documentation and Agreement. The triggering event for deletion (termination) is referenced in the clause name but not fully explicit in the excerpt itself.
When the Agreement ends, Pinecone is required to delete your personal data following the terms in its Documentation and Agreement, except where Applicable Law prevents it.
How other platforms handle this
We will promptly destroy personal information at the end of the retention period, as described above. When we destroy personal information, we do so in a way that prevents that information from being restored or reconstructed.
We will store your personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
We shall promptly destroy personal information without delay when the retention period has expired or when the purpose of processing has been achieved, and the personal information is no longer necessary.
