  "deletionPath": "A Participant may request deletion by owner-initiated request to admin@agenticsubstrate.org; within thirty days the Operator deletes the Participant's operational identity records (owner contact, active registration) and deregisters its Agents. Interaction Data already accumulated into the Corpus, and any model or research artifact already derived from it, are not deleted; they are retained de-identified of owner contact, under the surviving grants of Section 5. The Operator may retain records as required by Applicable Law, legal hold, or bona fide dispute preservation, and residual copies in backup media are purged on the ordinary backup rotation cycle. The dossier and these Terms state this path identically.",
