The policy commits to erasing personal information from its systems upon consent withdrawal, subject to exceptions for legal claims and continued service performance. Retention is otherwise described as limited to what is necessary for service provision and lawful business needs.

This provision establishes a consent-withdrawal-triggered erasure obligation with carve-outs for legal defense and ongoing service necessity, which aligns with GDPR erasure right conditions but depends on consent being the stated lawful basis for the relevant processing. Where Tabnine processes data on the basis of legitimate interest or contract rather than consent, this withdrawal mechanism may not apply.
Interpretive note: The scope of the withdrawal-triggered erasure right depends on which processing activities Tabnine designates as consent-based, which the policy does not specify comprehensively for each data category.
Under this clause, users who withdraw consent to data processing may request erasure of their personal information, and Tabnine states it will erase that data except where required for legal claims or service performance. The practical scope of this right depends on which processing activities are based on consent as opposed to other lawful bases such as legitimate interest or contract.

"Generally, Tabnine does not retain information longer than necessary to provide its Services and for its reasonable business and lawful needs. If you withdraw your consent to us processing your Personal Information, we will erase your Personal Information from our systems, unless the Personal Information is required for Tabnine to establish, exercise or defend against legal claims or it is necessary for the performance of the requested Services.Excerpt from Tabnine's Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages GDPR Article 17 (right to erasure) and Article 7(3) (right to withdraw consent), which establish conditions under which erasure must be carried out and the exceptions that apply. The policy's carve-outs for legal claims and service performance are consistent with GDPR Article 17(3) exceptions. For California residents, CCPA provides a separate deletion right with its own exception framework. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. The erasure commitment is qualified by standard GDPR-compliant exceptions, but the policy does not specify which processing activities are consent-based versus legitimate interest or contract-based, creating ambiguity about the practical scope of the withdrawal right. Organizations managing employees on the platform should assess whether data retention schedules align with this policy's commitments. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users have GDPR-backed erasure rights enforceable through supervisory authorities. California residents have CCPA deletion rights with a separate verification and response timeline. The policy applies its erasure commitment globally upon consent withdrawal, though the legal basis for that commitment varies by jurisdiction. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers should assess whether Tabnine's data retention commitments are reflected in executed data processing agreements, particularly with respect to retention schedules for employee data processed under the business partner Data Controller role. Sub-processor retention obligations should be confirmed. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should map which specific processing activities Tabnine designates as consent-based to determine the practical scope of the withdrawal-triggered erasure right. Data mapping exercises should capture the legal basis for each processing category described in this policy to support accurate data subject rights responses.
