The clause defines the operational framework for data lifecycle management, establishing that retention is conditioned on service delivery necessity and legal compliance rather than indefinite retention. This creates a structured basis for determining when personal information will be deleted from Wix systems.
Users' personal information is retained according to purposes specified in the policy—service provision, legal compliance, dispute resolution, and policy enforcement—rather than being deleted immediately upon account closure or service discontinuation. The retention period extends only as long as these stated purposes require, with destruction of outdated information occurring at the earliest reasonable time.
