1. Intro

  • 1.1

    Our "Data Deletion Policy" at Eachthing describes how Subscripers (users or organizations who subscribed to one of our paid services plans) Data is deleted in relation to cancellation, termination or migration of an Account within the Eachthing Services detailed herein. This Policy does not apply to (a) data that resides in any Eachthing product or services not detailed in this Policy; (b) data that resides in Third Party Services managed and hosted by third parties and the Service Data that is or may be shared with such Third Party Services (as defined in our Master Subscription Agreement); or (c) data that resides in a Eachthing product or service that is in a Beta, Testing or Early Access Program (except as noted within this Data Deletion Policy). Definitions for the categories of Structured and Unstructured Service Data covered in this Data Deletion Policy can be found following the corresponding table below.

2. Account Cancellation or Termination

  • 2.1

    Ninety (90) days after your Subscription for one of the Services listed below is cancelled or terminated, an automated process will begin that permanently deletes your Service Data for the cancelled Service in accordance with the timelines set forth in the tables below.

    Once commenced, this process cannot be reversed and Service Data will be permanently deleted.

3. Migration Delay

  • 3.1

    In certain instances, including the enablement of Regional Data Hosting, the migration of Service Data to another data center may be required. In this process, a copy of your Service Data will be created for the purposes of assuring that it has been fully migrated to another data center. This assurance process conducted by Eachthing may take up to thirty (30) days from the date of the commencement of such migration. After the migration process has been completed and confirmed, the deletion of the copy of your Service Data in the former data center facility will commence under this policy in accordance with the timelines set forth in the tables below.
