Tumblr adds data retention for Terms of Service violations; geolocation detail removed
After account closure, Tumblr may now keep information to prevent use of its services for activities that violate its Terms of Service, in addition to the existing legal, dispute and enforcement reasons. The description of shared geolocation data no longer says it is only approximate location from your IP address. A 'Last Modified' date was added.
