Whrrl users have not need to worry because according to Pelago CEO Jeff Holden the Whrrl data will not be lost once it closes its doors. He explains in his blog, “You’ll find on the website that you now have an option to retrieve your data – pretty much everything you ever put into Whrrl. It’s explained pretty clearly on the site, so I won’t get into the details here, but I hope you do download your data and ultimately have the opportunity to use it again.”
