- End-of-contract data extraction
- For the free, public service, all data must be uploaded to the online service. The original copy of the data used will remain on the user's desktop. There is therefore no need to extract the data as it always resides on the desktop. Alternatively, it may be re-downloaded using the built in data download capability.
- End-of-contract process
- The public service is not time limited, so the contract never ends. A user can delete their account at any time. If they wish to retain a copy of the published charts prior to account deletion, then they can download the published charts prior to account deletion.

Choosing browser-based over an installed application simplifies security, enterprise deployment and ensures that the service is evergreen without costly software upgrades. See answers to other questions concerning browser specifics. All standard user features are available via desktop or mobile web browsers. Mobile browsers are optimised to work with touch input, while desktop browsers support accessibility tools and software.
- Accessibility standards
- None or don’t know
- Description of accessibility
- The plotly.js library is built using core web technologies: HTML, CSS, Javascript, and is fully open source, so it is possible to extend the library capability to include accessible features. At this time, the project considers such additions out of core scope: "Plotly.js' main focus is on plotting the data and exposing an interface to view it. Specific key events should be managed by the consumers of plots, that is the webpages they are embedded in."
