Interpretive note: The full text of the account deletion section was not available in the provided document excerpt, so the scope of data deleted and any retention exceptions cannot be confirmed from the document text.
The updated document establishes explicit commitments about how Windsurf protects data and manages security. The terms state that all data transmission is encrypted in transit and at rest, that access to production systems is restricted to a small number of employees or contractors based on business roles, and that production systems are monitored via logging, error handling, and monitoring dashboards. The document discloses that Windsurf obtained SOC 2 Type II certification as of March 2024 and that all employees and contractors are required to use multi-factor authentication and receive annual security training. These disclosures describe organizational practices rather than establishing new user-facing rights or obligations.
