“use the Services (and any Output or Voice Model) to create, develop or improve any competing products or services or to power, enable or train other artificial intelligence and machine learning models, tools or technologies;”
Users are prohibited from using outputs or Voice Models to train competing AI/ML systems or build competing products, significantly restricting downstream use of generated content.
“ 1.4. Limitations for Suggestions. You acknowledge that Suggestions are generated automatically by machine learning technology and may be similar to or the same as Suggestions provided to other customers, and no rights to any Suggestions generated, provided, or returned by the Se…”

No specific retention periods are stated. 'As long as necessary' and 'legitimate business needs' are vague standards. Safety and system monitoring data is retained for an unspecified 'limited duration' even for ephemeral interactions.
“You acknowledge that Suno may establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Service, including the maximum period of time that data or other content will be retained by the Service and the maximum storage space that will be allotted on Suno's or its third-part…”
Suno can delete all user Submissions and Outputs upon account inactivity or at any time it changes its retention practices, with no defined notice period and no obligation to notify users. Users risk permanent loss of their content.
