Below is a link with regards to the **retention policy of data** :

> [https://www.synatic.com/documents/privacy](https://www.synatic.com/documents/privacy)

If data is stored on a server, the server admins are responsible to delete the transferred files.  
If records are stored in a buffer, the client is responsible for maintaining the data.

**Synatic is only responsible for storing the run logs of a flow** such as the datetime the run started and the number of records that were completed. These run logs/ records don’t get deleted. To delete them, you have to manually purge the run records.

There are 2 ways to **purge the run records** :

1. Click on the 3 dots circled in red next to the flow name illustrated below. Then click on “Purge Run Storage” underlined in red.

The below page will appear. Select the retention period from the drop down list and then click on the highlighted button to purge/ delete the run records. Then click “Ok” to confirm.
