How Data Retention Works

Data Retention manages the lifecycle of your data with configurable retention policies per brand. Go to Brands, select a brand, then open the Data retention tab. Each tier has default retention periods (FREE: 30 days, PRO: 365 days, ENTERPRISE: Unlimited); you can customize per brand. The system automatically cleans up data that exceeds retention periods.

Why Data Retention Matters for AI Visibility

Data Retention is essential for optimizing your brand's visibility in AI-powered search results and recommendations. As AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot become primary sources of information for B2B buyers, understanding and optimizing for AI discovery is critical. Data Retention helps you control data lifecycle, making it easier for AI systems to find, understand, and recommend your brand when users ask relevant questions.

AI Models Supported

Data Retention works across all major AI platforms including OpenAI ChatGPT, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Perplexity AI, Microsoft Copilot, and DeepSeek. This ensures comprehensive coverage of how your brand appears in AI-generated responses across different models and use cases.
