Data Lifecycle Management

Data Retention & Deletion Policy

Responsible data management, guided by GDPR principles.

Dainin AI is committed to transparent data practices. We collect and retain only what is necessary, and we provide clear mechanisms for data deletion upon request.

Data Retention Principles

We retain data only for clearly defined purposes. Each category of data has a documented justification aligned with our service obligations and regulatory requirements.

Provide Services

We retain data necessary to deliver, maintain, and improve the services you rely on.

Platform Functionality

Operational data supports system reliability, performance monitoring, and feature delivery.

Legal Obligations

Certain data is retained to satisfy regulatory, tax, and compliance requirements.

Security Logs

Security event data is retained to detect threats, investigate incidents, and protect our customers.

Customer-Controlled Data

Customers maintain ownership of their data. The following categories describe the types of information we process on your behalf.

Contact Information

Names, email addresses, and professional details provided during registration and account management.

Operational Data

Workflow configurations, platform settings, and data generated through normal use of the service.

Communications

Support requests, feedback, and correspondence exchanged during the course of the customer relationship.

Data Deletion Requests

Customers may request deletion of their data at any time. We process deletion requests in accordance with our obligations, subject to the following considerations.

Legal Obligations

Certain data may need to be retained beyond a deletion request to satisfy regulatory, tax, or compliance requirements. We will inform you if any such obligations apply.

Security Requirements

Security logs and incident-related records may be retained for a defined period to support ongoing threat detection and forensic capabilities.

Backup Processes

Data stored in backup systems will be deleted in accordance with our backup rotation schedule. Backups are encrypted and access-controlled.

Account Termination

Upon termination of a customer account, we initiate a structured data removal process. Account data and associated configurations are scheduled for deletion within a reasonable period following termination, unless retention is required by law.

Customers are encouraged to export any data they wish to retain prior to account closure. We provide tools and support to facilitate data portability.

Backup Systems

Our backup infrastructure is designed to ensure service continuity and disaster recovery. Backups are encrypted at rest and in transit, with access restricted to authorised personnel.

When data is deleted from production systems, corresponding backup entries are removed during the next scheduled backup rotation cycle. We maintain documented retention schedules for all backup tiers.

Security of Stored Data

All retained data is protected by industry-standard security controls including encryption at rest, encryption in transit, role-based access controls, and continuous monitoring.

Encryption at rest and in transit
Role-based access controls
Continuous monitoring and alerting
Regular security assessments

Continuous Improvement

We regularly review and update our data retention practices to ensure alignment with evolving regulatory requirements, industry best practices, and customer expectations. Changes to this policy will be communicated through our standard notification channels.
