ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Closing an account or ceasing to use Stripe's Services does not end Stripe's retention of your Personal Data, which continues for compliance and fraud purposes.

Interpretive note: The excerpt contains an ellipsis indicating omitted text, suggesting additional retention purposes beyond legal obligations and fraud monitoring. Only the two explicitly quoted purposes are captured in the canonical claim. Confidence is medium because the full list of retention purposes is not available from the excerpt.
