Frequently Asked Questions

about Data Retention Software

How does Data Retention software function?

Data Retention software typically enables organizations to set specific retention periods for various categories of data. It then automates the process of identifying data that has reached the end of its retention period and triggers actions such as deletion or archival. Some software also offers features for legal holds, ensuring data isn’t deleted when litigation is anticipated.

Yes, Data Retention software is designed to accommodate various types of data, including documents, emails, records, and more.
