Data retention policy

API Usage

For every API call made to Geocodio's geocoding API, we store the following data:

• User-Agent Header
• IP Address
• Type of request
• Query (for queries to the single address endpoint only)
• Selected field appends

† The query is only stored for non-batch requests and is never stored in Geocodio's Enterprise environment.

In addition, we store a variety of performance metrics, including:

• Accuracy metrics
• HTTP response status code
• Processing time

On the 1st of each month, we roll up the previous month's usage to aggregated usage only. After this point, we only keep the number of requests per day per API key.

All other data, such as IP addresses, queries, and selected field appends, are excluded from the roll-up.

14 days after the roll-up has been generated, we delete the detailed logs.

This means that detailed API usage information is kept for a maximum of 46 days but as little as 14 days.

Spreadsheet uploads

Spreadsheets are automatically deleted six (6) weeks after upload, unless they have been turned into a map. Maps, and their underlying spreadsheets, are only deleted when explicitly deleted.

Spreadsheet uploads can be deleted at any time before six weeks via the dashboard. Standard Unlimited team admins have the ability to set a data retention policy that automatically deletes spreadsheets earlier than six weeks.

Geocodio Enterprise: Spreadsheet uploads are automatically deleted 72 hours after processing is completed.
