OpenArt: what deletion does
On what happens to uploads on deletion, OpenArt's terms read: private creations kept while a subscription is active, and for seven days for those who never subscribed. As of 2026-09-25.
Private creations are stored while your subscription is active, unless you delete them
OpenArt, terms
- Data retentionPrivate creations kept while a subscription is active, and for seven days for those who never subscribed
1What “kept only within plan or storage limits” means here
Storage limits cut both ways: the tool may remove content once a plan's limit is reached, and does not promise to keep it longer. A copy of the manuscript belongs somewhere else.
2Other tools with this reading
Luma and Pika have the same reading, which makes 3 of the 24 tools.
This is how the clause reads on its face; how a court would read it is a separate matter.
3Why it matters for a book
Deletion and licence are separate. Removing a project may end the copy the tool keeps for you without ending the licence already granted, and copies others made of public work stay where they are.
