  1. Go to ConsoleSettingsData & privacy.

  2. Under How long data is kept, select Change beside a kind of data.
  3. Choose a period under Keep for.
  4. Read how many records it would delete. If it deletes any, tick that you understand.
  5. Select Save, or Save and delete.

Good to Know

  • Records past their period are deleted automatically, every hour, and can't be recovered. Each run shows under Deleted on schedule and in the audit trail.
  • A longer period keeps what's still here. It can't bring back what's gone.
  • Your plan sets the longest you can keep visitor data. Records your plan's history hides are kept until their period ends.
  • HR records always need a period, because the law keeps them for a time after someone leaves. Agoo warns when you choose less than it advises.

If Something Goes Wrong

  • A period you want isn't offered. It's longer than your plan allows, or shorter than the law needs for that kind of data.
  • You need a copy before deleting. Take a full export first.
  • There's no Change button. Owners and Admins change retention.
