  5. Optionally, you can click on the “Do not delete” checkbox [5], if you prefer to not delete any files.
  6. Click Apply [6].

Please keep in mind that call, voicemail, and screen recordings older than the selected period will be periodically removed.

 

Important Information: Transcriptions and AI enrichments based on recordings will be deleted according to transcription retention settings. This is only applicable to Interaction Analytics (CXA) customers.

 

Notes: 

  • When new retention settings are configured or updated, they will only be applied to newly made recordings. Previously made recordings will keep the prior retention policy that was in effect when the recording was made.
  • Starting November 25th, 2024, and upon the expiration of a retention period, a purge operation will occur daily at 04:00 (UTC time), deleting transcriptions and AI enrichments older than the configured retention period. AI enrichments include analytics such as customer intent, sentiment, mood, and others. 
  • Once the purge operation is executed, data cannot be recovered. Prior to the purge, you can extract your transcripts and enrichments from Interaction Analytics, see how here.
  • Specifically regarding call transcripts, defining the retention policy will erase all historical transcripts and enrichments.
  • Only Post Call transcripts will be deleted SMS and Chat are out of scope).
  • Please keep in mind that the Right to be Forgotten (RTBF) feature bypasses the retention policies that are in place. So, an RTBF request to delete all data associated with a specific contact overrides the standing Talkdesk Data Retention Policy and established configurations.
