ℹ️This feature is only accessible to Admins.

Ansarada will only keep data in closed rooms for a maximum of 90 days before it is automatically deleted from our servers. With Ansarada Vault you can safely store your documentation for the required legal retention period, eliminating the need for outdated storage methods like USBs of insecure archives. We operate an opt in policy if you would like to retain this data as a closed-access archive (Ansarada Vault), meaning no one can view the data unless an authorized stakeholder has specifically requested access.

Alternatively, with Ansarada Always™. you can keep your documentation continuously updated and accessible on the platform for a low cost.

To find out more please reach out to Ansarada support!

Room archives can be requested at any stage of a deal. They can be for the entire Room, including Q&A, or for part of the Room. Learn more about Archive types here.
