Data Retention
AudioSpliter retains your audio files and job data according to your plan's retention policy.
Retention Periods
Audio Files (Source & Segments)
| Plan | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Free | 24 hours |
| Starter | 7 days |
| Pro | 30 days |
| Enterprise | Custom |
After the retention period, both the source file and output segments are permanently deleted from our servers. Download URLs become invalid.
Job Metadata
Job metadata (ID, status, timestamps, parameters) is retained for 90 days on all plans. This allows you to query job history even after files are deleted.
Account Data
Account data (profile, billing history, API key records) is retained until you delete your account. After account deletion, all data is permanently removed within 30 days.
API Usage Logs
API request logs (timestamps, endpoints, response codes) are retained for 90 days for billing and debugging purposes.
Early Deletion
You can delete a job and its files before the retention period expires:
curl -X DELETE https://api.audiospliter.com/api/v1/splits/job_abc123 \
-H "X-API-Key: as_live_abc123"
This immediately deletes the source file and all segments. The job metadata is marked as deleted.
Download URL Expiration
Signed download URLs expire 24 hours after generation, regardless of the plan's file retention period. If you need to download segments later, call the Get Job endpoint to get fresh URLs (as long as the files are within the retention period).
Data Deletion on Account Closure
When you delete your account:
- All active jobs are cancelled
- All stored files are queued for deletion
- All API keys are revoked immediately
- Account data is purged within 30 days
- Billing records are retained for 7 years (legal requirement)
