We retain personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain active accounts and workspaces, administer subscriptions, enforce our agreements, investigate misuse, resolve disputes, meet legal obligations, preserve essential security or audit records, and support resilience or migration of the platform. We determine retention periods by reference to the category of data, the purpose of the processing, legal or tax obligations, backup rotation, and the need to preserve evidence relating to security incidents, fraud, or contract disputes.
In practice, account and workspace data may remain available while an account or workspace is active and for a limited follow-up period after closure or deletion, billing and invoice records may be retained for the period required by tax, accounting, and commercial-record obligations, and security logs or abuse-related records may be retained for as long as reasonably needed to detect, investigate, and remediate misuse or incidents.
If content is deleted, an account is closed, access is terminated, or the service is shut down, some information may remain temporarily in backups, logs, replicated systems, legal holds, or residual operational records. Backup systems exist for resilience and operational continuity, not as a promise that every version of every item will remain recoverable. We may also determine that accounts, workspaces, or stored data are inactive, dormant, abandoned, or unmaintained under criteria chosen by us from time to time, and we may archive, anonymize, or permanently delete them in accordance with our operational retention policies. We may permanently delete personal data and workspace content when retention is no longer necessary or when we retire, migrate, or discontinue part or all of the service, subject only to non-waivable legal obligations.
