The provision creates a dual retention framework: a service-necessity standard for ongoing operations, and a broader set of institutional purposes (legal compliance, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, agreement enforcement, legitimate interests) that may extend retention beyond active service provision. This structure allows data retention across multiple operational and legal contexts.
The updated privacy policy no longer includes explicit language stating that Tabnine respects user privacy and the user's right to control how personal data is collected, used, and shared. This language removal does not necessarily change what data practices are authorized under other sections of the policy, but it does remove an aspirational commitment that was previously stated. The policy may continue to describe specific data practices, collection methods, and user controls elsewhere, but readers will no longer see this opening commitment to privacy and user control.

The authorization for retention to protect legitimate business interests establishes a discretionary basis for extended data retention that operates alongside specific legal and operational grounds.
