Their words · Privacy Policy

“ We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer period is required for legal, tax, accounting, security, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, backup, or operational reasons. Account data: for the life of your account and up to 30 days after deletion to complete deletion across backups. Billing records: as required by tax and accounting laws, typically up to 7 years. Encrypted chat backups: until you delete them or close your account. We only hold ciphertext. API and Container usage metrics: while your account is active for billing and operations, then aggregated or anonymized. IP and request logs: for anti-abuse and security, collected and managed by Clerk under its retention policy. Mailing list subscriptions: until you unsubscribe. Support communications: as needed to resolve your request and for reasonable record-keeping. Upon a verified request, we will delete or de-identify personal data that Tinfoil controls, subject to the exceptions described above.”
