ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Data may be held for up to 7 years based on Uber's own tax, insurance, legal, or regulatory needs, with account deletion as the only user-side condition that can shorten that period.

Interpretive note: The excerpt is truncated after 'defending...' suggesting an additional condition related to Uber's legitimate interests in legal defense exists but is not fully quoted. That portion is excluded from the canonical claim and noted in omitted_material.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Your data may be kept by Uber for up to 7 years from when it was collected for tax, insurance, legal, or regulatory reasons, and deleting your account may prevent this retention.
