Hi everyone, silly question… if 'I’m not wrong the retention in core plans is 14 months, and it involves all the data (unlike GA4). It means that the data is removed from everywhere or there is a chance that if I have, for example, a LookerStudio report that uses the connector/API this will not be subject to retention? Thank you! ---

Hi @Jack Here’s the response from the team responsible for data retention: > looker AFAIK uses the data that it queries for, it does not store data itself, thus you’ll get 14 monhts woth data there, unless you export data and use the export as the data source > > the bottomline is: in Piwik we store up to 14 months data, you get access to these only Best, Oliwer ---
