Vimeo’s Enterprise Data Retention tool allows account owners and admins to apply data retention policies to folders and user groups in your account. The videos associated with these folders & groups will be automatically deleted after the duration specified by your data retention policy. The data retention tool helps you to get rid of any outdated and irrelevant videos based on your selected policy and duration, helping you better manage your video library as well as the risk associated with user-generated content.
Features of the Enterprise Data Retention Tool
- Account owners and admins can create new and edit existing data retention policies. Contributors and viewers do not have access to the enterprise data retention tool.
- Retention policies can be applied to folders and/or groups in the account. The videos uploaded in “Private to me” folders by users in these groups will be deleted based on duration set by the retention policies.
- The videos in each folder/group will be deleted based on the duration set by the retention policy. The video will be deleted once that duration has elapsed after the video has been uploaded.
- Retention policies can be set for a desired time period of days, months or years. You cannot create a policy less than 7 days or more than 50 years.
Owners and Admins can also set a legal hold on specific videos that prevents them from being deleted (both by a user or by a retention policy) in case the video is being investigated for legal reasons.
