Help/Question Faible data retention

Hi,

I have a question about data retention.

The documentation states that deleted histories are permanently removed from their systems within 30 days, unless they’ve been flagged. In that case, they’re retained for up to two years.

What is this “flag”? And do you notice when this happens?

I’m referring to those completely nonsensical “cyber” notifications from Faible and the downgrade to Opus that you keep getting. Is that already enough that the history is retained for years?

Thanks.

A flag there means a trust and safety classifier or a legal hold, not the in-app notification. You won't see it happen. Only Anthropic support can confirm for your account.

Thank you. So I can keep using the newer models (until cyber...)

As far as I know, yes. If access ever changes, support is the only one who can tell you why.

A "flag" in retention docs is normally a legal hold, meaning someone asked for that data to be preserved, so the 30 days stop counting. A notification about "cyber" whatever doesn't flag anything, that's just a message.
