Data retention policy

How long we keep what, and what happens when you delete your company.

3 min readUpdated April 20, 2026

Retention windows

Individual check-ins
Kept for the life of the account. Never shown to managers — only rolled into aggregates.
Aggregated dashboards
Kept for the life of the workspace.
Open-text comments
Kept for 12 months by default. Admins can extend to 24 months or shorten to 3 months under Settings → Data retention.
Server logs
Application logs are kept 30 days.
Backups
Full database backups kept 7 days. Deletions propagate to backups within 8 days.

Deleting a workspace

Settings → Company → Delete workspace. You'll be asked to confirm with the workspace name. After confirmation, data becomes inaccessible immediately. Full erasure — including backups — is complete within 30 days, per GDPR expectations.

Irreversible

Workspace deletion cannot be undone. If you're just pausing, downgrade to Free instead — your data stays intact and you can re-upgrade later.
