Retention and deletion

Every website has a retention period, and every organisation a log retention period. Older data is deleted automatically, and you can export or delete everything whenever you choose.

#Retention period

Choose 90 days, 180 days, 395 days (the default, about 13 months) or 730 days in Settings → Data retention and export. The API accepts any whole number of days from 30 to 1,095.

DataDeleted
Visits, with their handoff tokens and journey linksRetention period after the visit
Install events, with their journey linksRetention period after the install was reported
Delivery recordsRetention period after their last update
Reconstruction signals: network and browser hashes, OS family, time zone, language, architectureWithin about a minute after the reconstruction window ends; all of them when reconstruction is turned off or the organisation moves to Free
LogsAfter the organisation’s log retention: 30 days by default, from 7 days up to the plan’s maximum (7 on Free, 30 on Standard, 90 on Enterprise). See Logs.
Receipts in the browserStop matching after 30 days; the small file stays until the visitor clears site data or a newer visit to the page replaces it.
Dashboard sessionsAfter 7 days

Deletion happens in the service's maintenance pass, which applies retention at most once an hour. Deduplication of each event type per installation lasts as long as the event is kept: once retention deletes it, a repeat report from the same installation counts as new.

#Export

Download CSV in Settings exports up to the 100,000 most recent install events, one row each, with the columns received_at, event_type, resolution, method, confidence, channel, campaign, page_url, referrer, touches, destinations (each destination with its delivery status), install_path and unattributed_reason. It is part of the paid plans (plan_required on Free); members and above can export. Logs have their own export. Cells that a spreadsheet could read as a formula are prefixed with '. Exports are recorded in the audit log.

#Delete a website

Settings → Delete this website, for admins and owners, asks for the website's name and then for a new sign-in (Google, or a new email link). It permanently removes the website's visits, handoff tokens, install events, journeys, deliveries, destinations with their credentials, and its audit log. The organisation’s activity keeps one line noting the deletion.

#Delete your account

Account and security → Delete account asks for a new sign-in (Google, or a new email link). Organisations only you belong to are deleted with their websites as above; you leave the others. Then your sessions, support requests and the account itself are deleted. See Delete your account.
