Thanks Jacob, Marcel linked to the and the response was that it's a bit obfuscated. People are less likely to find the data retention guideline than the privacy policy, and the question was: can that be worked on. See Pine's reply to Marcel 'cause I'm not doing it justice :)

Hi Pine,

Are the data retention guidelines what you're looking for? They're linked in the footer on the privacy policy page, but were done as a separate policy after the privacy policy was already in placed. 

Best,

By the way, to the best of my knowledge, all recordings to "permanent media" are overwritten or destroyed after 60 days. I thought that was specified in either the Privacy Policy or Terms of Use but I can't find the specific reference, and that bothers me. Can someone at Legal explain why this isn't specified in either in the PP or ToU? (Feel free to fork this question if it becomes a distraction to the original thread.)

Thanks,

Pine
