Event data retention

After an event ends, InviteDesk automatically anonymises the attendee data of that event. With the event data retention setting, you determine how long attendee data is kept before this happens.

You can find this setting in the data retention policy settings, under Event data:

Months after an event ends before attendee data is anonymised: enter the number of months after the end of an event before attendee data is anonymised. The default value is 1 month.

What happens when attendee data is anonymised

• Attendee names and contact details are anonymised.

• Exported files are deleted.

• Registration counts and survey statistics are kept, so your event reporting remains available.

Anonymisation cannot be undone. If you need attendee data for a longer period (e.g. for follow-up or invoicing), increase the value before the current period has passed.

Click on "Save" to keep any changes you have made.

Note: the other settings in this dialog (moving inactive contacts to the trash bin and deleting them permanently) belong to the Data Retention Policy and work independently of the event data retention.
