AWS Wickr Data retention
AWS Wickr Data retention can retain all conversations in network. This includes direct
messages and conversations in Groups or Rooms between in-network (internal) members and those with
other teams (external) with whom your network is federated. Data retention is only available to
AWS Wickr Premium plan customers and enterprise customers who opt in for data retention. For
more information about the Premium plan, see Wickr Pricing
When your network administrator activates data retention for your network, all messages and files that you share in your network are retained in accordance with your organization's compliance policies. You will see a Data Retention Turned On window, informing you of this new setting.
You will also see a one-time control message in any Direct Message, Room or Group that has members from another network (external members). The control message indicates that all messages in the conversation can be retained as per external organizations' data retention policy. This doesn't expose or indicate the status of any network’s data retention policy.
