The Data Retention Architecture
Deleting a form schema does not automatically purge your historical data. Flex Forms employs a decoupled architecture to protect your respondent records.Submissions Data
Raw submissions tied specifically to the deleted form will be orphaned or removed based on your specific database cascade configurations. Always export critical CSVs first.
Unified Contacts
People who submitted the form are stored in the global Contacts Directory. Deleting the form will not delete these global user profiles.
Compliance & Best Practices
To maintain GDPR compliance and a pristine Insights dashboard, adhere to these guidelines:- Export Before Destruction: Always run a full CSV export from the Submissions tab before deleting a production form.
- Scrub Test Data Regularly: Frequently delete test submissions generated during your staging phase so they do not pollute your live production Insights and conversion rates.
- Enforce Company Policy: Manually purge the Unified Contacts directory according to your organization’s legal data retention limits.
