Data Retention & Deletion
Effective September 11, 2026
Customer-controlled project deletion
Eligible projects can be permanently deleted from the SlateGauge project dashboard. The deletion flow requires confirmation and is designed to remove the project, its uploaded project files, generated reports and associated application records from active SlateGauge storage.
Active projects
Project records, uploaded files and generated reports are retained while the project remains in your account so that you can access, rerun and manage the project.
Deleting a project
When you confirm Delete Project, SlateGauge attempts to remove the project's uploaded files and generated report files from active storage and then delete the associated project record and dependent application records. Deletion may be blocked while an analysis is actively processing to avoid incomplete cleanup.
Operational records
Some limited records may need to be kept after project deletion for security, fraud prevention, debugging, accounting, legal compliance or dispute handling. These records should not be used to reconstruct or republish a deleted customer project except where legally necessary.
Backups and provider logs
Deleted information may remain temporarily in backups, system logs or third-party provider infrastructure until those systems rotate or expire the data under their own retention schedules. SlateGauge cannot promise instantaneous deletion from every backup copy or independent provider log.
Account information
Deleting a project does not automatically delete your SlateGauge account. Account information may be retained while your account remains active and as required for security, billing, legal or operational purposes.
Requests
If you need help deleting project data or want to make a privacy-related request, use the SlateGauge Support page.
