Mailvina keeps email data for at most 30 days on every plan. After that it is deleted automatically and can’t be recovered. Full policy: [Data Retention Policy](https://mailvina.com/legal/data-retention).

| Data | Kept for |
| --- | --- |
| Email content (subject, bodies, attachments) | Your plan’s retention period: Free 3 days, Pro 7 days, Scale and Enterprise 30 days |
| Email records, recipients, status and events | 30 days |
| Received email (Emails → Receiving) | Your plan’s retention period |
| Inbox conversations | Until you delete them, within your Inbox storage |
| Webhook delivery attempts | 30 days |
| Suppression list | Until you remove the address |
| Metrics (daily counts, no personal data) | Kept, so all-time analytics stay accurate |

## Keeping longer history

Subscribe a [webhook](https://mailvina.com/docs/webhooks) to the events you care about and store them in your own database. You then decide how long to keep them.

## Metrics after 30 days

Before email records are deleted, Mailvina adds them to daily totals per domain, sending IP and broadcast. The [Metrics](https://mailvina.com/docs/analytics) page and `GET /metrics` combine these totals with recent emails, so numbers don’t drop when old emails are deleted. Individual emails older than 30 days can’t be looked up.
