 ### What data is impacted?
 
 With this data retention policy, all data beyond the retention period is unrecoverably deleted from all of Segment and impacts the following:
 
 * [Data Replays](/docs/guides/what-is-replay/) will only be available for data within the retention period. Unify, Engage and Linked customers that replay data to recreate Unify Spaces or Profiles may encounter variations in the number of profiles, as well as in the identifiers, traits and properties associated with the profiles, depending on the data available.
-* Backfill Data is only available for data within the retention period.  
+* Backfill Data is only available for data within the retention period when sources are connected to your warehouse.   
 * [Data residency](/docs/guides/regional-segment/) migrations across regions (US and EU) is only available for data within the retention period.  
-* Additional impacts  to Object data:  
-  * Cloud Object Data (using push) updated using the [Object API](/docs/connections/sources/catalog/libraries/server/object-api/#set), [Bulk API](/docs/connections/sources/catalog/libraries/server/object-bulk-api/), or webhook cloud sources (for example, [SendGrid](/docs/connections/sources/catalog/cloud-apps/sendgrid/#streaming) or [Mandrill](/docs/connections/sources/catalog/cloud-apps/mandrill/#streaming)): Any data older than 180 days is treated as a new record and may not contain any historic properties. To prevent loss of data properties, Segment recommends that you always send full objects with all properties.  
-  * Users and Accounts: Segment aggregates data from Identify and Group events for entities active within the last 180 days. Any data older than 180 days is treated as a new record and won't have historic properties. To prevent loss of data properties, Segment advises customers to migrate to using Profile Sync.  
+* Additional impacts to Object data:  
+  * [Object API](/docs/connections/sources/catalog/libraries/server/object-api/#set), [Bulk API](/docs/connections/sources/catalog/libraries/server/object-bulk-api/), or [SendGrid](/docs/connections/sources/catalog/cloud-apps/sendgrid/#streaming) and [Mandrill](/docs/connections/sources/catalog/cloud-apps/mandrill/#streaming) streaming sources: Any data older than 180 days is treated as a new record and may not contain any historic properties. To prevent loss of data properties, Segment recommends that you always send full objects with all properties.  
+  * Users and Accounts: Segment aggregates data from Identify and Group events into [Users and Account objects and tables for warehouse destinations](/docs/connections/storage/warehouses/schema/#warehouse-tables) object store records. Any object store records not updated in the last 180 days will be deleted from Segment's object stores. Any new data after object store records are deleted for inactivity is treated as a new object store record. If the source is connected to a Warehouse destination, object store entities are synced into [`<source>.users` and `<source>.accounts` tables](/docs/connections/storage/warehouses/schema/#warehouse-tables), and the existing record in the warehouse will be replaced with the new object store record, resulting in possible loss of attribute data. To prevent loss of attributes, Segment advises customers to migrate to using [Profiles Sync](/docs/unify/profiles-sync/overview/), always send complete Identify and Group calls, or back up your `<source>.users` and `<source>.accounts` tables. 
 * [Computed traits](/docs/unify/Traits/computed-traits/) is built using the available data within the retention period. Recreating these traits may result in different values based on the available data.  
 * [Profiles](/docs/unify/), [Engage](/docs/engage/) [Audiences](/docs/engage/audiences/) and [Journeys](/docs/engage/journeys/) that are built using Events will use available data within the retention period. Recreating these may result in different Profiles based on the available data. Depending on how the conditions are defined, Profiles may or may not exit Computed traits, Engage Audiences, and Journeys due to the data retention policy, and this may result in mismatches in counts when comparing against a preview.
 
 ### What data is not impacted?
 
 With this policy the following data is not impacted, but may be subject to other policies:
 
-* **Cloud Object Data (using pull)**: This involves Segment fetching object data from third party Cloud Sources. Since Segment always fetches the full objects, the retention policy will have no impact.  
+* **[Object Cloud Sources](/docs/connections/sources/#object-cloud-sources)**: This involves Segment fetching object data from third party Cloud Sources. Since Segment always fetches the full objects, the retention policy will have no impact.  
 * **Profiles**: Unify Profiles, Identifiers, and Traits created are not subject to this data retention policy.   
 * **Third Party Destinations**: Data in your third party destinations shared by Segment in the course of your implementation remains unaffected. Data stored in a third party system may be subject to the data retention policy of that system.    
 * Anything a user creates in the Segment App, like Audiences, Journeys, Data Graphs, Connections, and more, **are not subject to this data retention policy**.

 ### Data deletion delays
 
-When data reaches the end of its retention period, deletion is scheduled in accordance with Segment’s data retention policy. While Segment aims to complete the deletion process promptly, there may be occasional delays due to processing times or technical constraints. Segment is committed to initiating data deletions as soon as possible and strives to complete deletions within 7 days of the scheduled date.
