Data retention & deletion

How long we keep data and how deletion works end to end.

Last updated: 24 April 2026

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law. Different categories of data have different retention windows; this page describes the defaults.

Deletion lifecycle

  1. Soft delete — an admin deletes data; it is removed from the active app and moved to a recovery state.
  2. Recovery window — 30 days for contacts; immediately for explicit erasure requests.
  3. Hard delete — data is purged from primary stores and search indexes.
  4. Backup expiry — data persists in backups until they naturally expire (typically 30 days). Backups are encrypted and not restored except for disaster recovery.

Erasure requests

Individuals with rights to erasure under applicable law can submit a request per the Data Subject Requests page. We prioritise erasure requests and shorten the recovery window to immediate.

Contract end

On termination of your subscription, you have 30 days of read-only access to export your data. After that window, we archive and later permanently delete your workspace. If you want data returned sooner, email privacy@opendoors.ai.
