Retention

Retention in Foundry is the process that deletes data from datasets in the platform based on retention policies. The retention policy is applied for every dataset transaction that occurs. Learn more about transaction types in the platform.

The Retention Policies application is accessible from the space settings page and allows users to create and manage retention policies as part of other platform administration workflows.

The Retention Policies application supports three types of retention policies:

1. System policy: Retention policies managed by the platform. These policies are not configurable and are designed to only target old versions of data. If your use case requires these these policies to be removed, reach out to your Palantir representative.
2. Legacy policy: Retention policies managed by space administrators through Code Repositories. These are considered deprecated.
3. Custom policy: Policies managed by the space administrator using the Retention Policies application.
