SaaS data retention after cancellation, by vendor
17 systems are in the comparison. Stated day counts run from 90 to 180 calendar days, and the median is 90. Asana, ClickUp, Confluence, Dropbox, GitHub, HubSpot, Jira, Notion, QuickBooks Online, Salesforce, Slack, Xero, Zoho Workplace, and monday.com state a deletion rule in words, with no single day count. Each row links to the vendor's own help page, read on 2026-11-04. The system pages and the shutdown deletion clock use these same vendor records.

How this differs from the directory and the clock
The systems directory answers one vendor at a time, the clock turns a window into your dates, and the comparison sets the windows side by side.
The systems directory is where you read what each system deletes when you cancel. A product page holds the export steps and what a license keeps or drops. The comparison lines the windows up: the set, the median, and the CSV.
The shutdown deletion clock is where you calculate export and deletion dates. You type the day the window starts, and the clock adds the day count. The comparison asks for no date.
How to wind down a company runs from the decision to close through the records you still have to keep. A deletion window is one deadline inside that work.
Each system page links to that product's row in the comparison. Use the row for the window beside the others, and the system page for the export clicks. The company data market research hub lists the comparison with the other datasets.
Findings
Every figure in these findings is computed from the verified rows in the table below.
- Among 3 systems with a day count, the windows run from 90 to 180 calendar days, and the median is 90. The median includes only rows with a day count.
- Among the vendors in the comparison, Google Workspace and Zendesk state the shortest deletion window, 90 calendar days.
- Asana, ClickUp, Confluence, Dropbox, GitHub, HubSpot, Jira, Notion, QuickBooks Online, Salesforce, Slack, Xero, Zoho Workplace, and monday.com are in the vendor table with the vendor's own words. Those rows are outside the minimum, the maximum, and the median, because a sentence is not a day count.
A sentence in the window column is the vendor's rule. It is not zero days, and it is not part of the median. Read the vendor table for the wording next to each name. Open a system page from the product name when you want the export steps for that product. The figures above describe the whole set of rows.
Who states the shortest window
Among the vendors in the comparison, Google Workspace and Zendesk state the shortest deletion window, 90 calendar days.
That is the shortest window among the systems in the comparison, not among all software.
Google Workspace has its own system page, and the Google Workspace row quotes the help page beside the day count. Zendesk has its own system page, and the Zendesk row quotes the help page beside the day count. Every system with that same day count is named. There is no single winner. Day counts are the only figures in the ranking.
Asana, ClickUp, Confluence, Dropbox, GitHub, HubSpot, Jira, Notion, QuickBooks Online, Salesforce, Slack, Xero, Zoho Workplace, and monday.com stay in the vendor table with the help-page wording, and those rows stay out of the shortest-day ranking. A stated window is the number the vendor wrote. It is not a timed measurement of a deletion job.
Windows by category
2 categories have at least one vendor with a day count in the comparison.
| Category | Vendors | Shortest (days) | Median (days) | Longest (days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Email and collaboration | 2 | 90 | 135 | 180 |
| Support or ticketing | 1 | 90 | 90 | 90 |
Day counts in a category are sorted from smallest to largest. An odd count uses the middle value. An even count uses the arithmetic mean of the two middle values, shown to one decimal when it is not a whole number. Categories with no day count are absent here. Those systems stay in the vendor table, with the vendor's words.
Vendor windows
Each row is one system, and the window comes from that vendor's own help page.
Rows with a day count come first, from the shortest window to the longest, and then by product name. Rows that quote the vendor follow, in product-name order. The CSV uses that same order. When the window cell is a sentence, a number inside that sentence is part of the vendor's words. It is not the day count used for the median.
| System | Vendor | Category | Window (calendar days) | How the vendor words it | Export: who can run it | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google Workspace | Email and collaboration | 90 | 90 days is the end of the email-verified Delete users' data path. The article also describes keeping user data on that subscription type. | The Data Export tool has to be started by a Google Workspace or Cloud Identity super administrator whose account is at least 30 days old, unless the organizational account itself is newer than 30 days. That admin needs 2-Step Verification turned on. Every super administrator can view the finished export. | Google Workspace Help | |
| Zendesk | Zendesk | Support or ticketing | 90 | Zendesk deletes account data 90 days after the cancellation date, and the automated deletion process begins after 90 days. | The account owner has to ask Zendesk Customer Support to enable exports, and the request includes the Support subdomain. After that, a Zendesk admin runs the export from Admin Center. Admins outside an approved email domain can be blocked from the Reports page. | Zendesk help |
| Microsoft 365 | Microsoft | Email and collaboration | 180 | Customer data is deleted no later than 180 days after cancellation, and it might be deleted after 90 days. The 30-day figure is the Expired status for most offers, not the deletion date. | Sign in to the Microsoft Purview portal as a user assigned eDiscovery permissions. That user needs a Microsoft 365 Enterprise E3 or E5 license to export content. Exporting SharePoint content also requires a Microsoft SharePoint E3 license on the account, or those items might not export as expected. | Microsoft Learn |
| Asana | Asana | Project or workflow | After that 30-day period Asana has no obligation to retain Customer Data and may delete it, unless the law prohibits the deletion. | Following expiration or termination of all subscriptions, Asana may immediately deactivate the accounts associated with that agreement. | A super admin requests the domain export from the admin console. The control is on the Settings tab. Admins who are not super admins are not the role named for this export. | Asana |
| ClickUp | ClickUp | Project or workflow | Only the Workspace owner can delete it, and it cannot be deleted from the mobile app. You confirm by typing the Workspace name. Deleted Workspaces cannot be recovered. You can check the box to permanently delete all Workspace data from ClickUp and from third-party data processors. | An owner or an admin can downgrade during the billing cycle. The Workspace switches to the new plan at the end of that cycle. ClickUp says all of your data remains in the Workspace and can be opened again if you upgrade. Add-ons are separate from the plan, and you remove those yourself. | Owners and admins can export task data through the Workspace export settings. Members cannot use that task export on Free Forever, Unlimited, Core, and Business. A member can export a List or Table view, a Doc, a Dashboard card, a Whiteboard, or Form responses when they have Edit permission or higher on that location. | ClickUp Help |
| Confluence | Atlassian | Documents and storage | Free, Standard, Premium, and Enterprise plans keep the app's data for 60 days after deactivation. At the end of that period the data is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. Trials are retained for 15 days. | The 60-day retention period starts after the 15 days of access that follow the end of the subscription period. The page states those as two intervals, not as one summed count. | A site admin should run the export when the backup will be imported into Confluence Data Center, because site admins can view every email address on the site and the export then includes that user data. | Atlassian Support |
| Dropbox | Dropbox | Documents and storage | Deleting the account deletes the account and the file data. Private-folder files are deleted from Dropbox servers and are non-recoverable as soon as you delete the account. Shared-folder files stay available to the other members. | For Standard, Business, Advanced, and Business Plus, Dropbox tells you to contact Support to move the team to a locked state, then follow the team-deletion instructions. A team member account is deleted by an admin who can delete team members. | Anyone signed in to dropbox.com can download a file or folder that account can open. The article applies to all Dropbox plans. A team subscription is canceled by an admin, not by this download. | Dropbox Help |
| GitHub | GitHub (Microsoft) | Anything else | Deleting the organization permanently removes repositories, forks of private repositories, wikis, issues, pull requests, and project or organization pages. GitHub cannot restore that content. | The organization name is not available for another organization or user account for 90 days. After 90 days it becomes available. Renaming the organization makes the name available sooner. This interval is about the name, not a second copy of the files. | You back up a repository by cloning it. Run git clone --mirror with the repository URL. A wiki is stored as a Git repository, so the same clone backs up the wiki. Compress the clone and keep that file where you control it. | GitHub Docs |
| HubSpot | HubSpot | CRM and sales | A Super Admin or billing admin deletes the account from Account and Billing, on the Delete Account tab, after paid subscriptions are no longer active. You enter the Hub ID and click Yes, delete to permanently delete the account. | Turning off auto-renewal cancels the subscription on the renewal date, not immediately. You are still charged until the commitment term ends. The account then moves to HubSpot's free tools. | Export permissions are required to export records. The article applies on all products and plans. A person without Export permissions cannot start the file. | HubSpot Knowledge Base |
| Jira | Atlassian | Project or workflow | Those plans keep the app data for 60 days after deactivation. At the end of that period the data is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. | The 60-day retention starts after deactivation. The 15 days of access and the 60 days of retention are two intervals. | The cloud backup starts at Settings, then System, then Backup manager. An organization may block people from exporting data in a particular app instance or at certain classification levels. Create the backup while that control is still available. | Atlassian Support |
| Notion | Notion | Documents and storage | The deletion is permanent. All content in the workspace is deleted, including private pages, for every member of that workspace. | Deleting a Notion workspace is permanent. All of the content inside it is deleted, including private pages, and nobody who belonged to the workspace can open it afterward. | The page-level Export control can be hidden if you are not an admin in the workspace. Workspace admins on the Enterprise Plan can give themselves access to specific pages, through content search, so a later export includes those pages. | Notion Help |
| QuickBooks Online | Intuit | Finance and accounting | You have read-only access for one year. You can export to Excel or to a desktop version of QuickBooks up to a year after you cancel. | Trial data is available for 90 days. A trial export has to be done within those 90 days. | The company export starts at Settings, in the Tools column, at Export data. The US article walks through that control for the person who can open the company file. Reports and lists leave as one Excel zip. Other records, such as estimates and the account list, use their own export. | Intuit QuickBooks |
| Salesforce | Salesforce | CRM and sales | An organization with LOCKED status has 120 days before deletion. A courtesy data export is available during that grace period. | An organization with HOLD status has 30 days before deletion. A courtesy data export is available during that grace period. | A system administrator authorized for the organization requests the courtesy export and signs in to download the zip. Salesforce Support starts the export after that request. Regaining ordinary use of an Expired, Hold, or Locked organization goes through the account executive, not through this download. | Salesforce Help |
| Slack | Salesforce (Slack Technologies) | Chat | All data in the workspace that is more than one year old will be deleted. | Message and file history is limited to the most recent 90 days. Slack hides older messages and files, and reveals them again if the workspace upgrades. | Workspace Owners and Admins can export public-channel messages and file links on the Free, Pro, and Business+ plans. Org Owners run Enterprise exports. Workspace Owners and Org Owners must apply before private-channel, direct-message, or all-conversation exports are available. Members with the Export Admin system role can also use the export tools. | Slack Help Center |
| Xero | Xero | Finance and accounting | If the subscription is still canceled at the end of the retention period, the data is permanently deleted. You can ask Xero support to delete the data permanently sooner. | A paid cancellation has a one-month notice period. You are still billed, and all users can still open the organization. Xero recommends exporting during this month. | The person who can open Contacts and run the smart list can export it. Select all customers or the individual checkboxes, click Export, and choose CSV. The article also offers Constant Contact as a destination for that same list. | Xero Central |
| Zoho Workplace | Zoho | Email and collaboration | In a region without a free plan, the super admin can upgrade within 30 days after the trial ends. If you do not upgrade in that window, the account and organization data are scheduled for deletion and permanently removed. | The account moves to Zoho Mail's free plan and premium features are turned off. In regions without that free plan, the organization is disabled and inaccessible, and the data cannot be recovered once it is disabled. | A super administrator or an administrator exports user mail from the Admin Console. The export can cover the whole account or a date range. PST is available only on a paid plan. Users can be notified, and the admin is notified by default. | Zoho Workplace |
| monday.com | monday.com | Project or workflow | monday.com keeps account data by default so you can open it later, and says it may delete data from an inactive account at any time. A completely deleted account cannot be reversed. | Canceling a product stops renewal. You can keep using the account until the plan end date, or close the account immediately. An existing customer submits the cancellation at least 30 days before the renewal date. | The account admin downloads the whole account. The zip includes shareable and private boards and, unless you exclude them, files uploaded to boards. Every admin on the account is notified each time the export runs. | monday.com Support |
Who can export
A short deletion window is not the same thing as an export any employee can run.
The vendor table names who can run an export, in the vendor's words, whenever the help page names a person or a role. A day count does not tell you whether a teammate can run that export. Read the export cell before you assume an employee can download the workspace.
Google Workspace says: The Data Export tool has to be started by a Google Workspace or Cloud Identity super administrator whose account is at least 30 days old, unless the organizational account itself is newer than 30 days.
monday.com says: The account admin downloads the whole account.
The steps for each of those exports are on the system page. Plan limits, when the help page gives them, sit there too. The comparison keeps the window, the wording, and the role in one row so you can see them together.
| System | Who can export | Plan requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Google Workspace | The Data Export tool has to be started by a Google Workspace or Cloud Identity super administrator whose account is at least 30 days old, unless the organizational account itself is newer than 30 days. That admin needs 2-Step Verification turned on. Every super administrator can view the finished export. | The full-export steps are available in all Google Workspace editions. A Google-provided Cloud Storage bucket deletes the exported data 60 days from the beginning of the export. The tool does not export accounts created within 24 hours before the export starts, and it does not export deleted data unless Google Vault retained it. |
| Zendesk | The account owner has to ask Zendesk Customer Support to enable exports, and the request includes the Support subdomain. After that, a Zendesk admin runs the export from Admin Center. Admins outside an approved email domain can be blocked from the Reports page. | The export tools in this article are not on Team plans. Every Zendesk plan can use the REST API to export data instead. JSON, CSV, and XML are the file types on Professional and Enterprise. CSV leaves out ticket comments, ticket descriptions, and deleted tickets. AI agent tickets cannot be exported. The email link lasts at least three days. |
| Microsoft 365 | Sign in to the Microsoft Purview portal as a user assigned eDiscovery permissions. That user needs a Microsoft 365 Enterprise E3 or E5 license to export content. Exporting SharePoint content also requires a Microsoft SharePoint E3 license on the account, or those items might not export as expected. | Search export packages expire 14 days after you create them. Microsoft then deletes the package and everything in it, and that package cannot be recovered. Download it first. The exporting user needs a Microsoft 365 Enterprise E3 or E5 license, and SharePoint items also need a SharePoint E3 license. Files restricted by a data-loss-prevention action are left out. Sites locked with NoAccess are skipped. |
| Asana | A super admin requests the domain export from the admin console. The control is on the Settings tab. Admins who are not super admins are not the role named for this export. | Domain export is available on the Enterprise+ tier and on the legacy Enterprise tier. The file is JSON. You can export text only, or text and attachments. Video transcriptions, cover photos for forms, and user profile pictures are not included in the attachment export. If you need something the export leaves out, Asana tells you to contact them. |
| ClickUp | Owners and admins can export task data through the Workspace export settings. Members cannot use that task export on Free Forever, Unlimited, Core, and Business. A member can export a List or Table view, a Doc, a Dashboard card, a Whiteboard, or Form responses when they have Edit permission or higher on that location. | Free Forever and Unlimited plans can export only five List, Table, or Form views. On the newer plans, List view export is a trial on Core, and Core does not include Table or Form view exports. Unlimited List view exports are on the Business Plan and above. Links to exported data expire after one hour. Large Workspaces may fail to export, so select only the locations you need. |
| Confluence | A site admin should run the export when the backup will be imported into Confluence Data Center, because site admins can view every email address on the site and the export then includes that user data. | The backup link lasts 14 days, and only one backup file is kept at a time. Soft-deleted spaces are left out unless you restore them from the trash first. Databases are not exported. A cloud backup can be up to 30 GB, plus 800 GB of attachments. |
| Dropbox | Anyone signed in to dropbox.com can download a file or folder that account can open. The article applies to all Dropbox plans. A team subscription is canceled by an admin, not by this download. | You can download a folder only when it is smaller than 250 GB uncompressed and contains fewer than 10,000 files. Files in nested folders count toward that 10,000. The zip of a folder is limited to 250 GB. An individual file has no size limit in the article, and Dropbox recommends the desktop app for large files because browsers and networks drop long downloads. |
| GitHub | You back up a repository by cloning it. Run git clone --mirror with the repository URL. A wiki is stored as a Git repository, so the same clone backs up the wiki. Compress the clone and keep that file where you control it. | A mirror clone copies the Git history. If the repository uses Git Large File Storage, run git lfs fetch --all or those objects stay out. A migration archive is a separate file. It leaves out Git Large File Storage objects, discussions, and packages. GitHub documents no supported way to restore that archive on GitHub. |
| HubSpot | Export permissions are required to export records. The article applies on all products and plans. A person without Export permissions cannot start the file. | Record export is available on all products and plans, and it needs Export permissions. The file has the current property values and associations in the view you export, unless you choose all properties. Calls and notes are not in that record file. The download link expires after 30 days. You can run up to 300 exports in a rolling 24 hours, and up to three at the same time. |
| Jira | The cloud backup starts at Settings, then System, then Backup manager. An organization may block people from exporting data in a particular app instance or at certain classification levels. Create the backup while that control is still available. | The cloud backup can include work items, fields, boards, sprints, users, comments, and, if you tick the option, attachments, avatars, and logos. It leaves out automation flows, third-party app data, Jira Service Management content powered by Opsgenie, Assets, and Jira Product Discovery views. Allow 48 hours between backups that include attachments. Restores are limited to backups 30 days old or newer. |
| Notion | The page-level Export control can be hidden if you are not an admin in the workspace. Workspace admins on the Enterprise Plan can give themselves access to specific pages, through content search, so a later export includes those pages. | The workspace export link expires after 7 days. Pages the exporter does not have access to, such as private pages of other users, are left out of the file. HTML, Markdown, and CSV exports remain the formats the backup article tells you to use for the whole workspace. |
| QuickBooks Online | The company export starts at Settings, in the Tools column, at Export data. The US article walks through that control for the person who can open the company file. Reports and lists leave as one Excel zip. Other records, such as estimates and the account list, use their own export. | Reports and lists download as Excel files in one zip. The zip covers posting transactions that change balances, including invoices, receipts, and bills. Estimates, purchase orders, statements, attachments, recurring templates, and the account list are separate exports. QuickBooks Online Advanced can also build a custom report. Third-party apps can keep a separate backup. |
| Salesforce | A system administrator authorized for the organization requests the courtesy export and signs in to download the zip. Salesforce Support starts the export after that request. Regaining ordinary use of an Expired, Hold, or Locked organization goes through the account executive, not through this download. | The courtesy export is for an organization that is locked, suspended, or on hold because of an expired contract or a payment problem. Support starts it after the system administrator opens a case. The email link works for 48 hours after the export finishes. The download does not resume ordinary work in the organization. |
| Slack | Workspace Owners and Admins can export public-channel messages and file links on the Free, Pro, and Business+ plans. Org Owners run Enterprise exports. Workspace Owners and Org Owners must apply before private-channel, direct-message, or all-conversation exports are available. Members with the Export Admin system role can also use the export tools. | Free and Pro workspaces export public channels. Private channels and direct messages require Business+ or Enterprise, and the Workspace Owner or Org Owner must be approved for that export type. A Free workspace can export file links only from the last 90 days. |
| Xero | The person who can open Contacts and run the smart list can export it. Select all customers or the individual checkboxes, click Export, and choose CSV. The article also offers Constant Contact as a destination for that same list. | This file is the smart-list contact export, saved as CSV. It contains the customers you selected in that search. Open Contacts, then All contacts, then the Smart lists tab, and run the search before you export. You can send the same list to Constant Contact instead of downloading the CSV. |
| Zoho Workplace | A super administrator or an administrator exports user mail from the Admin Console. The export can cover the whole account or a date range. PST is available only on a paid plan. Users can be notified, and the admin is notified by default. | The admin export saves mail as ZIP or PST. PST is available only to users on a paid plan. Spam and trash are left out unless you select those folders. Only mail that is in the account at export time is included. The files stay in the Admin Console for 30 days from the export date. Download them before you cancel. |
| monday.com | The account admin downloads the whole account. The zip includes shareable and private boards and, unless you exclude them, files uploaded to boards. Every admin on the account is notified each time the export runs. | The account export leaves out archived boards and workdocs. Export workdocs as PDF on their own if you still need them. Dashboards are not in the zip. The Emails and Activities timeline is not included. The download link lasts 24 hours, and a new export has to wait 24 hours. |
Methodology
Deletion windows, in calendar days, that software vendors state for customer data after a paid subscription is canceled. Vetrix Labs compiled each row from that vendor's own help page. The same records appear on the system pages and the shutdown deletion clock. Each row links to that help page and the date it was read. Where a help page gives a rule in words and no day count, the row keeps the vendor's words and the CSV leaves the day count empty.
One source of rows
The system pages, the deletion clock, and the rows below use the same vendor windows. A day count in a row is the day count on that system page. A rule in words is the same rule. The CSV is that list in the same order.
What the day count means
The day count is calendar days, the unit on the vendor's number. Words such as up to and within stay in the wording column, next to the number, and they do not replace that number with a different count. Where the help page gives no single day count, the window column quotes the vendor and the day-count cell in the CSV is empty.
For a calendar date, use the shutdown deletion clock. It adds a day count to a date you type.
Median
Sort the day counts from smallest to largest. If the count of numbers is odd, the median is the middle value. If the count is even, the median is the arithmetic mean of the two middle values. When that mean is not a whole number, the tables show one decimal. Rows that quote the vendor, instead of giving a day count, are not in the sort.

Limitations
A vendor can change a help page, and a window here is only as current as its checked date.
The comparison lists the systems on the systems directory that have a vendor deletion rule. It is a subset of the software a company might pay for. If a product you use is absent, read that vendor's help page. Absence from the comparison is not a retention period.
The day a window starts can be the day you cancel, the end of a billing period, or the day a site is deactivated. You type that start date on the shutdown deletion clock. The date beside each row is the day that help page was read.
Export steps live on each system page. Ask your lawyer how long your company must keep its own records. A vendor's deletion window is the vendor's rule for the vendor's copy of the data.
General information only. This is not legal, tax or financial advice.
Download and cite
Download the SaaS data deletion windows CSV. The file starts with a UTF-8 byte order mark and uses CRLF line endings. A cell that begins with an equals sign, a plus, a minus, or an at-sign is prefixed so a spreadsheet opens it as text.
An empty deletion_window_days cell means the help page gives the rule in words and no day count. Those words are in window_note. An empty window_note cell means the day count has no extra wording. An empty export cell means the help page does not name that limit.
| Column | Type | What it holds |
|---|---|---|
| slug | string | System id, and the anchor of that row in the comparison. |
| name | string | Product name. |
| vendor | string | Vendor named on the system record. |
| category | string | Category id for the kind of business software, such as chat or finance. |
| deletion_window_days | integer | Stated calendar days after cancellation. Empty when the help page gives the rule in words and no day count. |
| window_note | string | How the vendor words the rule. Empty when the day count stands without extra wording. |
| export_who_can_run | string | Who the vendor says can run the export. Empty when the help page does not name a person or role. |

Questions about these deletion windows
Which software vendor states the shortest data-deletion window after cancellation?
Among the vendors in the comparison, Google Workspace and Zendesk state the shortest deletion window, 90 calendar days. That ranking uses only the systems in the comparison that state a day count. The shutdown deletion clock adds the day count to a cancellation date you choose. The comparison does not ask for a date.
Why doesn't this deletion-window table match a number I saw on a blog?
The number in a row is the number on the vendor help page linked from that row, on the date beside the source. A blog can quote an older plan, a different product, or a grace period the row does not add. If the help page has changed since that date, the row changes only after the help page is read again. Use the linked help page when you need the vendor's current wording, and keep the date with any figure you repeat.
Is this the same data as the system-by-system pages?
Yes. A system page and the comparison read the same vendor record for that product. The system page adds the export steps and what a license keeps or drops. The comparison adds the day counts side by side, the median, and the CSV. Open the system page when you have one product in front of you. Use the comparison when you want every row at once.
How do I turn a deletion window into a date?
Use the shutdown deletion clock. It adds the day count to a cancellation date you choose. The comparison does not ask for a date, and it does not return an export-by date. Export-by on the clock is the cancellation date you type. A row that quotes the vendor instead of giving a day count has no number for the clock to add.
Can I download the SaaS deletion windows as a CSV?
Yes. The CSV has the same rows, in the same order, as the vendor table. Cite the string under Download and cite, including the version and the URL. CC BY 4.0 covers the compilation. It does not cover the vendor help pages. The file is a download of the table. It is not a separate article.
