What's the data retention policy for Confluence?

[Darin - Opus Guard]

@Stephanie Hurt in general there's no default retention policy for content created in Atlassian Confluence. There is a period after your instance goes inactive (if you abandon a free version) in which Atlassian will delete the space including the underlying content.

Check out Content Retention Manager for Confluence on the Atlassian Marketplace. It simple and helps you keep your storage down, keep your spaces clean, and help with data retention compliance if you're going for ISO/SOC2.

On Confluence Data Center (this is the deployment type you are using), the most widely used app for this use case is the Better Content Archiving app.

You can use that to periodically auto-archive pages using custom criteria.

(Discl. this paid and supported app is developed by our team for 10+ years. Free for 10 users.)

@Tansu Akdeniz Thanks!  Do you know how it differs in the Cloud compared to Datacenter?
