How automated purge works

Set it and forget it. Your data lifecycle runs itself.

Daily Automated Purge

Every night at 2:00 AM, records older than your retention period are permanently deleted. No manual intervention needed.

Full Audit Trail

Every purge is logged: timestamp, record count, data types deleted, and confirmation hash. Available for compliance audits.

FERPA Compliant

Data minimization is a FERPA best practice. Automated purge ensures you never hold data longer than necessary.

Irreversible Deletion

Purged data is permanently destroyed — not soft-deleted. Meets NIST 800-88 guidelines for data sanitization.

Per-Data-Type Control

Set different retention periods for browsing logs, safety alerts, and device telemetry. Granular control over every data category.

Custom Schedules

Align purge schedules with your school calendar. Extended retention during audits, accelerated during summer cleanup.
