The service may keep a secure, anonymized record of users' data for analytical purposes even after the data retention period

User logs are deleted after a finite period of time
Logs are text files containing some information about web visitors, such as user agents (showing for instance that you're connecting from Firefox for Android) and ip addresses (which reveal your approximate location). This case applies to Services that periodically delete their logs to prevent user sessions being tracked over time.
