Pure Storage Collects Your Data. Doesn't Say How to Delete It.

Pure Storage is an enterprise IT company selling storage and data management software. Their terms are a mixed bag: some transparency tools exist, but critical gaps remain.

Here's what we found:

🟡 They track you through cookies and preference settings. Pure Storage collects data to personalize your experience. No surprise there. The mechanism is visible. What they do with it beyond that stays vague.

🟡 Your data lives in different places depending on your region. Pick a region, get different privacy rules. This matters if you operate across borders — compliance obligations shift depending on where data sits.

🔴 You can't find any policy on deleting your data. No explicit mechanism. No stated timeline. No user control. For a company handling enterprise data, this is a real gap.

🟢 They do publish a Trust Center and Privacy Policy. These exist and are linked from their legal pages. Whether they actually answer your questions is another story.

🟡 Your browser gets tracked for personalization with no clear way to opt out. Cookies fire. Preference data builds. The off switch, if it exists, isn't obvious.

Grade D means serious issues. The lack of any deletion policy is the headline problem — everything else flows from that void.
