How long does Google Model Garden keep your data?

Specifies that the content license lasts as long as the content is protected by intellectual property rights, that upon removal of content from services it will stop being publicly available within a reasonable time, and sets out two exceptions: where content was already shared with others before removal (which may cause it to persist in third-party accounts), and an implied second exception whose text is cut off — governing the duration and post-removal handling of user content.

Their words · Terms of Service

“ This license lasts for as long as your content is protected by intellectual property rights. If you remove from our services any content that’s covered by this license, then our systems will stop making that content publicly available in a reasonable amount of time. There are two exceptions: If you already shared your content with others before removing it. For example, if you shared a photo with a friend who then made a copy of it, or shared it again, then that photo may continue to appear in your friend’s Google Account even after you remove it from your Google Account. If you make your content available through other companies’ services, it’s possible that search engines, including Google Search, will continue to find and display your content as part of their search results.”
