We retain viewed trace information as long as the customer’s Datadog account remains active. (in other words, forever, unless they demand to delete their account)

I see that other products used "Retained for the duration of the account" wording so I put the same for the sake of consistency. Feel free to change it to something else, I don't have a strong opinion to keeo this version.

Ah okay, thanks for explaining. It'd probably be better to be more specific like what you said, "Retained as long as the Datadog account remains active", but for consistency, I'm fine with it.
