Can I change the retention windows?

Yes. Each window can be set per organization from 1 to 3,650 days.

How is old data removed?

A scheduled job runs every day at 2 AM and deletes raw events, ended sessions and reports older than their window.

Can I get data back after it is deleted?

No. Export any report you need to keep before it passes its retention window.

What does the timezone setting do?

It defines where each day starts and ends, so auto punch-out, break auto-close and day-wise reports line up with your working day.
