Hints/cases that have been closed or rejected will be automatically and permanently deleted from your hintcatcher system according to your configured retention policy. Basic information on deleted cases remains in the deletion log and is clearly displayed there in tabular form.
Retention Policy settings
In the retention policy settings, you can specify after what time (in months) closed and rejected cases are automatically deleted from your hintcatcher system to comply with data protection regulations. By default, this setting is configured to 6 months, so closed or rejected cases are automatically deleted 6 months after rejection or closure.
Please note that changes to this setting will only affect future rejected or closed cases.
