Data retention
In Settings → Data & privacy → Data retention, an admin sets a number of months. Once every one of a candidate’s applications has been archived longer than that, OpenATS anonymizes them. Hired candidates are kept. Leave it blank to keep everyone.
Step 1: Open Settings → Data & privacy.
Step 2: Under Data retention, enter the months to keep archived candidates, and save.
- Candidates whose every application has been archived longer than that are anonymized. OpenATS checks every day.
- Hired candidates are never anonymized by the policy.
- Candidates who unticked Save my profile when they applied are anonymized as soon as all their applications are archived.
- Nothing is anonymized while an import from another ATS is running, or while a candidate has an access request open.
