Following API service termination, Creators have a 30-day window to request a CSV export of their data. After that window closes, Teachable states it may delete all associated data from its systems unless legally prohibited from doing so.

This provision establishes a strict 30-day post-termination deadline for data retrieval requests, after which Teachable may delete all API-associated data. Creators who do not submit a retrieval request within this window have no stated contractual right to recover that data.
Under this clause, API users who terminate their use of Teachable APIs must submit a data export request within 30 days of termination to receive a CSV of their data. The agreement states Teachable may delete all associated data after that 30-day period without further obligation.

"Upon request by You made within thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination of Your use of Teachable API, we will make available to You for download a file of Your Data in comma separated value (.csv). After such 30-day period, we shall have no obligation to maintain or provide any of Your Data and may thereafter, unless legally prohibited, delete all of Your Data in Our systems or otherwise in Our possession or under Our control.Excerpt from Teachable's Terms of Use
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The 30-day data return window and post-window deletion authority may engage GDPR data portability rights under Article 20 for EU-based users, as the right to data portability is not contractually waivable. CCPA data portability rights under Section 1798.100 are similarly relevant for California users. The document qualifies deletion as permissible 'unless legally prohibited,' acknowledging regulatory constraints. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The 30-day window creates a time-sensitive operational obligation for Creator businesses transitioning away from Teachable APIs. Failure to submit a timely request results in potential permanent data loss with no stated recovery mechanism. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and EEA users retain GDPR Article 20 data portability rights independent of this contractual window; the 'unless legally prohibited' qualifier indicates Teachable acknowledges this constraint. California users retain CCPA data request rights. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations integrating Teachable APIs should establish offboarding procedures that include a 30-day data retrieval trigger upon any API termination event. Vendor contracts should confirm Teachable's deletion procedures and timelines. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether the 30-day window and CSV-only format satisfy data portability obligations under GDPR and CCPA for relevant user populations.
