Data retention periods and export functionality by feature

Genesys Cloud retains different types of data for different periods of time. The following table describes the retention periods for each type of data.

Also, there are different methods you can use to access your data. Due to the volume of data, some types of data must be exported routinely during your use of the platform. The following table includes links to these methods for accessing your data.
