Site24x7 data retention policy

Understanding data retention in Site24x7

Data retention refers to the practice of storing data for a specific period to meet operational, legal, or business needs. It ensures that important information is available for compliance, audits, security investigations, and historical analysis. Additionally, it helps organizations manage storage costs and protect sensitive data by deleting it when it's no longer needed.
Notes
Data retention policies apply only to active users with at least one active monitor in their Site24x7 account.
