ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The reasonably necessary standard means retention duration is not fixed and may vary depending on purpose, leaving users uncertain about how long their data is held.

Interpretive note: The excerpt references several additional factors Wix considers when determining retention period, including data amount, nature, sensitivity, and potential risk of harm, which are recorded in omitted_material rather than the canonical claim.
