# Data retention

> Control how long masked check logs remain available.

You can choose a check-log retention period of `0`, `1`, or `7` days in
**Dashboard > Settings**.

## What a check log contains

When retention is enabled, SignupBear stores:

* a masked email such as `j***@example.com`
* the email domain
* risk, action, status, coverage, and reason codes
* request ID, policy version, environment, and expiry time

The raw email subject is not stored in the check log.

## What retention does not remove

Monthly usage counters are maintained separately so SignupBear can enforce plan
limits. Setting retention to `0` disables new check-log records; it does not
disable monthly usage accounting or account data required to operate the
service.

<Note>
  Expired check logs are deleted by the daily maintenance job. A record may
  remain briefly after its expiry time until that job completes.
