# Data retention in Amazon Location
<a name="data-retention"></a>

The following characteristics relate to how Amazon Location collects and stores data for the service:
+ **Amazon Location Service Trackers** – When you use the Trackers APIs to track the location of entities, their coordinates can be stored. Device locations are stored for 30 days before being deleted by the service.
+ **Amazon Location Service Geofences** – When you use the Geofences APIs to define areas of interest, the service stores the geometries you provided. They must be explicitly deleted.
**Note**  
Deleting your AWS account delete all resources within it. For additional information, see the [AWS Data Privacy FAQ](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/data-privacy-faq/).
