1What “kept for a set period, then deleted” means here
A set retention period gives a window to change one's mind. It also means the text stays on the tool's systems for weeks after the delete button is pressed.

Higgsfield has the same reading, which makes 2 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.
