What do I need to do? ***TL;DR:** Since DoctorLogic only collects standard reporting data, which is based on aggregated data, the data retention controls are not something that need to be reviewed or changed at this time.* ![](https://2741824567-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LAUTtHOF4cY8fyDoNkF%2F-LC0Dv9dKxzSl8rjGEI3%2F-LC0I1_x_WoPBbFZIhBT%2Fdata-retention-googl.png?alt=media\&token=3c6d4c06-1045-44e5-8f64-4d6f5854b4a5) **Long Answer:** [According to Google](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196), “the *Google Analytics Data Retention* controls give you the ability to set the amount of time before **user-level** and **event-level** data stored by Google Analytics is automatically deleted from Analytics’ servers.” DoctorLogic manages a dedicated Google Analytics account to capture visitor analytics and data from your site. Since we only collect standard reporting data, which is based on aggregated data, the data retention controls are not something that need to be reviewed or changed at this time. Keep in mind that DoctorLogic also imports analytics data into our own databases which have longer data retention policies in place. This means that even if Google deletes the data and/or the account, DoctorLogic will still have a snapshot of the data from that point in time. If you manage you're own, seperate Google Analytics account and have it associated with your DoctorLogic website you may want to [review the data retention settings](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196#) for that specific analytics account. This is particularly important if your implementation leverages user-level and event-level data associated with cookies, user-identifiers (e.g., User-ID) or advertising identifiers (e.g., DoubleClick cookies, Android’s Advertising ID, Apple’s Identifier for Advertisers). Google's default data retention is 26-months. ### --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://help.doctorlogic.com/docs/general/privacy-faqs.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
