By default, workbook data stays in Vern indefinitely. If your compliance posture requires bounded retention, set a retention policy and Vern will purge automatically on a schedule.Documentation Index

Set the policy
Go to Settings → Data retention. Pick a preset:- Forever — data stays until you delete it.
- 30 days — workbook data is purged 30 days after the workbook’s last activity.
- 90 days — same, on a 90-day window.
- Custom — set any retention window.
What gets purged
- Workbook sheet data (cell values).
- Uploaded source files.
- Import run history for the affected workbook.
What “last activity” means
The clock resets every time a user edits a sheet, runs an import, or makes other changes within the workbook. A workbook in active onboarding never expires; an abandoned one will.Compliance posture
This is the simplest path to a data-minimization story. If your customers ask “how long does Vern keep our data?”, this is the answer. For stronger guarantees (per-workbook policies, immediate purge), contact us.Next
