Retention periods

How retention, archive, quarantine and deletion suggestions work together.

Deletion periods differ for anonymous checks, workspace data, payments, contracts and statutory retention. Effective deletion must consider files, derived data and access together.

Anonymous micro-check

The free check uses the default period shown on the page. After expiry, cleanup removes database references and stored artefacts; failed storage deletion is retried.

Workspace data

Owners or authorised administrators manage archiving and deletion requests. Before final deletion, review contractual and legal retention, active exports and disputes.

Deletion evidence

Record request, scope, approval and outcome without storing deleted content again. Backups follow their protected lifecycle and must not become an active access path.
