Data retention and GDPR

Machine and communication unit (CU) data are retained for 3 months after contract termination. After contract termination, the contract state changes to terminated and the CU can no longer connect to the DataPlatform. You can reactivate the machine within this 3-month period, as long as it is still visible in your organization. If you reactivate the machine within this period, historical machine and CU data remain available. After 3 months, the machine is automatically removed from the DataPlatform. All historical machine and CU data are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. Proemion does not retain customer data without a valid contract in order to comply with GDPR requirements.
