Choose how long chats are stored

The storage settings determine how long chats are kept in your Logicc organization. Chats older than the selected duration are permanently deleted and cannot be restored.

Open organization settings

Why can you choose how long chats are stored?

The General Data Protection Regulation includes the principle of storage limitation. Under Article 5(1)(e) GDPR, personal data should generally be kept no longer than necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. The European Commission recommends that organizations establish time limits for erasing or reviewing stored data. Learn more about storage limitation.

This principle is one reason why we built flexible storage settings into Logicc. Organizations can control how long chats remain available and avoid storing them unnecessarily. The feature does not prescribe a particular duration: your organization selects the setting that fits its own processes and requirements.

Two separate settings

Logicc distinguishes between:

  • General chat retention period: applies to chats outside projects.
  • Retention period for chats in projects: applies to chats conducted within projects.

You can set a different storage duration for each category. For example, your organization may delete general chats after one year while keeping project chats for longer.

Available storage durations

The following options are available for both settings:

  • 30 days
  • 90 days
  • 180 days
  • 1 year
  • 2 years
  • Unlimited

Unlimited means that Logicc does not automatically delete chats because of this setting.

Change how long chats are stored

You need the appropriate permission to manage the organization.

  1. Open https://app.logicc.com/organization-profile.
  2. Under Organization, open General.
  3. Open the menu for General chat retention period or Retention period for chats in projects.
  4. Select the required period.
  5. Repeat the process for the other chat category if needed.

Consider before shortening a period

A shorter period can also affect existing chats that are already older than the new period. Because deletion cannot be reversed, before changing the setting you should:

  • check which existing chats are still needed,
  • preserve relevant content in an appropriate location beforehand if necessary,
  • coordinate the change with the affected teams,
  • inform users that older chats will be permanently deleted.

Frequently asked questions

Can deleted chats be restored?

No. Chats deleted because of the configured storage duration cannot be restored.

Does the same storage duration apply to general and project chats?

No. Each category has its own setting and can be configured differently.

What does “Unlimited” mean?

With this selection, Logicc does not automatically delete chats because of a time-based retention period. You can change the setting later at any time.
