What it is

The policy states that personal data is retained for the duration necessary to provide services and meet legal obligations, after which Tabnine takes steps to delete or anonymize it, without specifying fixed retention periods for individual data categories.

This analysis describes what Tabnine'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

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The absence of specific retention periods for categories such as code snippet data, telemetry, and account information means users and enterprise customers cannot determine from the policy alone when their data will be deleted. GDPR's data minimization and storage limitation principles require that retention periods be defined and justified.

Interpretive note: The policy does not provide specific retention periods per data category; the practical scope of deletion rights for AI model-embedded data is operationally uncertain.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, personal data including code snippets, telemetry, and account information is retained for an unspecified duration tied to service necessity and legal obligations. Users wishing to exercise deletion rights must submit a request to privacy@tabnine.com.
