Data Retention Comparison

Hubstaff’s data retention policy differs between free and paid plans. The ranges listed below are equivalent to the full period of historic data (rather than a rolling amount). In other words, a user’s screenshots from the month of June will be available until the end of July on the free plans (1 full month of data).

The benefit of this is that it allows you to view complete periods of time (e.g. a month from the start to the end) rather than periods that change each day. In a rolling monthly period, on July 10th you would only have access to data back to June 10th.

You can also extend the retention duration for specific data types by purchasing the Hubstaff Data retention add-on.

When users are removed, activities are still kept based on the data retention policy.
For data categories marked as 1 month, the data is retained up to the first date of the previous month.
