How it works

For each published form, you can specify how long to keep submissions, from minutes up to years. After your set time, older submissions are automatically deleted.

Deleted submissions are moved to the Trash, where they remain for 90 days before permanent deletion. This process is identical for both automatic and manual deletions.

You can modify retention periods anytime in each form's settings, allowing for precise control over data retention on a form-by-form basis.

Set up data retention

• Open the Settings tab of your published Tally form
• Scroll down to the Submissions data retention toggle and enable it
