Data Retention and Deletion
How SmartStart handles the retention, review, and deletion of business and inspection data.
Operational records
Inspection records, media, workflow notes, orders, and support history may be retained for operations, reporting, and customer service purposes.
Deletion requests
Deletion requests should be reviewed through support so the business can confirm identity, scope, and any records that must be retained for legitimate reasons.
Backups and system copies
Deleted information may remain in backups or recovery layers for a period before those copies are overwritten or retired.
Business responsibilities
The business using SmartStart remains responsible for understanding any recordkeeping requirements tied to its services and region.
Export before deletion
If you may need your data later, request an export before final deletion where that option is available.
Questions and review
Use the SmartStart contact or support path for questions about retention timing, export, or deletion review.
This page explains the practical retention workflow in plain English. Add any formal records-retention language required by your business or jurisdiction.
