EU hosting on this plan

Retention

How long does ClickUp keep your data?

How long data is kept

Checked

Kept for the term; at the end ClickUp deletes customer personal data as soon as reasonably practicable. Backups are kept for up to one year, so deleted items can stay in backups until then. AI partners keep no data (zero retention agreements)
