Notification: DataNow Data Retention Policy Reminder
Subject: Data Retention Policy for DataNow – Effective January 2025
This is a reminder that the new 2-year data retention policy for DataNow will take effect in January 2025. As part of our commitment to improving performance and ensuring compliance with corporate data governance, this update will impact how data is retained and accessed within the platform.
Key Changes:
Data Retention Limit: Beginning in January 2025, DataNow users will only be able to load data from the past 2 years (730 days). Data older than 730 days will no longer be accessible for reports.
Rolling Data Retention: The system will automatically remove data older than 730th day each day, ensuring a continuous, rolling 2-year window of data is always available for reporting.
To assist in preparing for the new retention policy, we will provide resources and guidance on how to export historical data beyond the 2-year window before it becomes inaccessible. Please refer to the Historical Data Best Practices article and the Scheduling Exports article on our support page.
