Data Retention Policy
Overview
Sensible is committed to protecting your family's privacy while providing valuable insights into your child's AI interactions. This policy explains how long we keep data and why.
Retention Period
90 days
We automatically delete conversation data, alerts, and topic analysis after 90 days from the date of creation.
What Data Is Covered
The following data types are subject to the 90-day retention period:
- Conversations: Chat transcripts captured from AI platforms
- Alerts: Safety notifications and their associated metadata
- Conversation Topics: Extracted topic analysis and word clouds
Why 90 Days?
This retention period balances several important considerations:
- Privacy Protection: Minimizes long-term storage of sensitive conversation data
- Parental Insight: Provides sufficient time to review patterns and address concerns
- Storage Efficiency: Keeps costs manageable as we scale
- Compliance: Aligns with GDPR "data minimization" principles
Automated Cleanup Schedule
Our retention cleanup runs daily at 3:00 AM UTC. During each run:
- Data older than 90 days is identified
- Associated records (alerts, topics) are cleaned up
- A log entry is created for audit purposes
What Is NOT Deleted
The following data is retained indefinitely (until account closure):
- Account information (email, parent profile)
- Child profiles and settings
- Device registrations (active and revoked)
- Billing and subscription records
- Audit logs of data access
Early Deletion Requests
You can request deletion of specific data at any time, regardless of the retention period:
- Individual conversations: Contact support with conversation details
- All data for a child: We'll delete all historical data for that child
- Full account deletion: All data associated with your account
