Data Protection Settings#

Data Protection Settings allow administrators to configure privacy-related behavior for data retention and deletion.

These settings support compliance-oriented handling of stored information and help define how long data may remain in the system and how deletion can be requested.

To navigate to the Data Protection Settings:

  1. Open the menu.
  2. Scroll down to Loechfristen.

The following screenshot shows this navigation path.

Deletion Periods#

The Deletion Periods setting allows you to define how long data should be retained before it is automatically deleted.

Users can enter a personal retention period in years. After the configured period has elapsed since data collection, the corresponding data is automatically deleted.

Use this setting when your organization needs a defined retention lifecycle for privacy or compliance reasons.

Once data has been deleted, it cannot be restored.

Deletion Request#

The Deletion Request setting allows users to submit a request for deletion of specific data they have entered.

This is intended for cases where data should be removed before the regular retention period expires or where a user explicitly requests deletion of certain records.

Once data has been deleted, it cannot be restored.

Typical Use Cases#

  • Define automatic deletion after a fixed number of years.
  • Support privacy-related cleanup processes.
  • Handle manual requests to remove specific user-entered data.
  • Reduce long-term storage of data that is no longer required.
