ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The duration of personal data processing by sub-processors is directly linked to both active service use and contractually agreed retention periods, meaning data is not automatically deleted upon stopping use unless the agreement specifies otherwise.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Your personal data is processed by Twilio's sub-processors for as long as you use the relevant service and for whatever retention periods your agreement with Twilio specifies.
