Retention Periods

Active account data is retained while your account is active. Matter records, documents, and case intelligence are retained for the life of the matter plus a reasonable archival period. Deleted items are soft-deleted and purged within 90 days.

Legal Hold

If we receive a legal hold, court order, or lawful preservation request, we may retain data beyond normal periods as required by law.

Audit Logs

System audit logs are retained for a minimum of 12 months for security and compliance purposes. Audit logs do not contain case content — they record system actions only.

Payment Records

Transaction and billing records are retained as required by tax and financial regulations, typically 7 years.
