This provision establishes a 30-day deletion timeline for account data, which is a concrete operational commitment, while also preserving Replit's right to retain data for fraud prevention, backups, legal obligations, archiving, and analytics, and to maintain data in de-identified form under the separate de-identification provision.
The updated policy organizes personal data collection into specific categories: registration data (name, email, phone), content created (code, files, prompts), collaboration data (teams, workspaces, permissions), usage logs (pages viewed, searches, interactions), communications (messages, attachments), payment data (card details, billing address, subscription type, collected by third-party processors), device data (IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers), and general location inference from IP address (with explicit statement that precise location requires consent). The policy states it 'may collect certain Personal Data' but does not materially expand the types of data collection beyond the prior version's framework. The removal of the explicit Data Processing Agreement reference may affect how EU/UK/Switzerland users exercise data rights, though the policy now cross-references the Terms of Service and indicates DPA compliance may be addressed elsewhere.
View change record →Under this clause, users who request account deletion can expect personal data to be deleted within 30 days, subject to exceptions for backup, fraud prevention, legal obligation, archiving, and analytics purposes. Data that has been de-identified prior to or following deletion request may be retained and used without restriction under the separate de-identification provision.
