Keep checking on what is going straight to the Spam folder on Webmail - the filters are good but they're not perfect, and some genuine emails can end up in there.
The default is that they'll keep all of your non-spam emails forever, unless you delete them from Webmail - deleting from a POP client doesn't count. There's an option to change that.
Data mining, security, etc. are always concerns, that's why I don't like using Webmail and having all emails and other data stored long-term "somewhere" on the internet. I have no reason to suspect gmail at the moment, but they can always change their own rules without asking - there are plenty of examples, including Google.
