Data Retention Policies
Configure data retention policies for audit logs, activity data, and deleted items to manage storage and ensure compliance.
Data Retention Overview
Configure how long your organization's data is stored before being automatically deleted. This helps manage storage costs and comply with data regulations.
Retention Policies
You can set different retention periods for different types of data:
Audit Logs - 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, or custom
Activity Data - 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, or custom
Deleted Items - Immediate, 30 days, or custom
User Data - When members leave your organization
Configuring Retention Policies
Go to Settings → Organization → Data Retention
For each data type, select a retention period
Click Save changes
Changes take effect immediately, but data already past the new retention period may take up to 24 hours to be deleted.
Compliance Considerations
Data retention policies help you comply with regulations such as:
GDPR - Right to be forgotten
CCPA - Consumer data deletion
HIPAA - Healthcare data retention limits
SOX - Financial record retention
Backup and Recovery
Data that has been deleted due to retention policies is permanently removed. Ensure you have appropriate backup strategies if you need to retain data beyond AppGram's retention limits.
Custom Retention Periods
For specific compliance requirements, you can set custom retention periods for each data type. Contact support if you need assistance configuring custom policies.
