Posted Effective Document Version Material Summary
2026-10-19 2026-10-19 Terms of Service 1.0.4 no Defines an Owner and how we verify an Owner's request (a signed-in action, or our own verification; we may refuse what we can't verify). Only Owners decide deletion, mainly in the console or command-line tool, by email if they can't; Users' requests go to their Owners. The 30-day deletion time runs from verification and may be extended within legal limits. Records we may keep longer (legal obligations, disputes, enforcement, security) and de-identified data are named. We may delete an org with no device activity for 60 days or fees unpaid 45 days, after console notice. A deleted org's name may be reused.
2026-10-19 2026-10-19 Privacy Policy 1.0.6 no Retention periods are stated as maximums. A registered org's entries in the public transparency registry are permanent (the registry is append-only); "3 years" was its backup copy. The audit log and certificate records are kept for up to 12 months after an org is deleted; the 365-day audit-log export line is removed because no such export exists. Agreement records include the accepting person's name and email. Encrypted recovery copies of an org's keys are listed (up to 3 years). Deletion is decided by an org's Owners, as in Terms 1.0.4.
2026-10-19 2026-10-19 Data Processing Addendum 1.0.5 no The same points as Privacy Policy 1.0.6 and Terms 1.0.4 for deletion and return (section 10), and data-subject requests (8.1). Annex II.6: only a separate maintenance role, which the running service never holds, deletes a deleted org's audit log.
2026-10-19 2026-10-19 Deleting your data 1.0.4 no Members ask their administrator; Owners decide, mainly in the console or command-line tool. What is kept, and for how long, matches Privacy Policy 1.0.6.
